Profile
Integrale is organised by students and wants to promote diversity in teaching and on campus. Integrale wants students to look beyond their own disciplinary horizons and take an interdisciplinary approach to social issues such as climate change, justice, responsibility, etc. and to experience interdisciplinary thinking and working.
It all began in 1998 with the desire to create transparent structures in the studium generale. Nine students from different disciplines founded Integrale, the student institute for studium generale. To this day, we are a working group of the student council. The consequence of this was the semester-by-semester printing of the studium generale course catalogue, which compiles university-wide interdisciplinary, interdisciplinary and reflection-promoting offers. Since then, students have been shaping Integrale's work and the portfolio has gradually expanded over the years. In the meantime, we organise our own lecture series and a service learning, supervise the Citizens' University and organise the annual dies academicus. In the process, we welcome new ideas and new collaborators.
Integrale would like to be a platform for interdisciplinary learning, but also for student engagement and supports student and civil society organisations in implementing their own teaching formats. Just get in touch with us!
Integrale wants to increase transparency in the studium generale and the General Qualifications (AQua): What are the examination requirements for students? Where can one find the relevant courses? Which examination achievements do you have to acquire? What exactly is the content of the course? And what prerequisites should I have for attending a course?
Integrale aims to support the interdisciplinary work of students within their studies by offering suitable courses and to improve the exchange of information between students from different disciplines. Integrale wants to encourage exchange between the sciences and thus improve the problem-solving skills of a new generation of academics.
Integrale wants to contribute to offering students a qualitatively suitable studium generale to enable them to learn reflexive competences and to contribute to the understanding of other subject cultures. With this offer, it sets the goal of increasing orientation knowledge as well as understanding of complex and interdisciplinary issues.
We strive for the university-wide (re)anchoring of the studium generale in the study regulations in order to provide students with the necessary freedom outside their own discipline, to be able to follow their own wishes and to enable interdisciplinary networking between disciplines as well as the connection of civic engagement and academic teaching.
