High teaching quality is the main priority of the International Studies bachelor. This is why we have a unique system of evaluating the tutorials as they are running, the so-called midterm evaluations, in addition to the regular course evaluations at the end of the semester. As the tutorial system is one of the corner stones of the programme, tutorials are thoroughly prepared before the start of the semester by lecturers, tutors, and support staff together to guarantee quality.
