U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

Die Forschung am Fachbereich ist stark empirisch und anwendungsorientiert ausgerichtet. Wir sind allerdings auch erfolgreich in der Grundlagenforschung. Ein inhaltlicher Schwerpunkt liegt auf Projekten, die sich mit den Chancen und Herausforderungen der Digitalisierung für Unternehmen und Gesellschaft befassen. Die einzelnen Professuren kooperieren dabei stark miteinander, mit anderen Partnern aus der Wissenschaft sowie mit lokalen Unternehmen.

Der Masterstudiengang Mathematik wird ohne Nebenfach studiert. Alle Prüfungsleistungen außer der Abschlussarbeit und einem Mathematischen Praktikum werden durch Wahlpflichtmodule erbracht, die die Gebiete "Algebra und Diskrete Mathematik", "Analysis" und "Angewandte Mathematik und Stochastik" abdecken müssen. Für das Studium generale sind 6 bis 12 ECTS vorgesehen. Die Abschlussarbeit umfasst 30 ECTS. Zusätzlich zum individuellen Lehrangebot wird jedes Jahr ein Masterschwerpunkt angeboten, also ein Programm aufeinander abgestimmter Module, die an einen aktuellen Forschungsbereich heranführen.

The master's program "Materials Science" unites the competencies of material physics, materials chemistry and material science as well as process engineering in an interdisciplinary association of various faculties of the University of Paderborn. In the course of the study, in-depth knowledge will be imparted in order to synthesize, process, characterize and process new functional materials for new applications as well as to establish the connection between production, processing and micro- and macroscopic properties.

The physics master’s program is characterized by a close connection to research, such as research into quantum technologies at the institute "Photonic Quantum Systems, PhoQS "(founded 2019) or the development of tailor-made non-linear photonics at the "Center for Optoelectronics and Photonics Paderborn (CeOPP)" (founded in 2006, since 2014 with Collaborative Research Center TRR142). Special lectures by the researchers themselves as well as student jobs in the working groups make it possible to participate in current research while studying.

The Physics degree course in Paderborn is characterized by great flexibility in terms of content. Three study variants allow individual focus training from the first semester. Specially designed language courses prepare students for possible stays abroad and / or communication with international cooperation partners. Innovative, research-oriented courses, short distances within the campus, optimal student counseling and a close interaction of theory and practice create the requirements for a smooth and demanding study.

The teaching is divided into individual fields of expertise: Ancient History, Medieval History, Early Modern History, Modern/Contemporary History, Theory and Didactics of History and Cultural Heritage. Processes and structures of political history are as much on the study program as problems of economic, social and environmental history. In addition, aspects of the history of mentalities and ideas, of historical anthropology as well as the history of architecture and urban planning or issues of historic preservation are being pursued in greater detail.

Main areas of research cover a wide range from European and international history to global history and the history of globalization. Other specializations are e.g. the cultural history of war, migration history, consumer history, digital humanities, history of religion, environmental history as well as theories of historical thought and cultural remembrance. The historical institute holds cooperations with external partners for instance in Belgium, with several universities in Europe as well as with regional corporations and organizations.

History as major is structured in Ancient History, Middle Ages, Early Modern Age, Contemporary History and "Sectoral History". There is a balance between thematic, epoch specific, and cultural perspectives and also relevant methodic and theoretical approaches. Students become acquainted with professional fields for historians and the implementation and communication of historical issues and insights in academic contexts as well as in other fields such as memorials, archives, libraries, museums, media, and organizations.

The study programs in linguistics are interdisciplinary in nature because teaching and learning covers aspects of general, English, German and Romance linguistics. The following themes are addressed in particual in the teaching of linguistics at Paderborn University: 1. Language and cognition, 2. Language acquisition and Language teaching, 3. Language variation, change and history, and 4. Language and society. Another important building block of Paderborn's profile is to encourage students to widen their knowledge of different languages by actively learning them during their studies.

The research profile in Linguistics is diverse as it includes resarch projects in English, German and Romance Linguistics. What all research projects have in common is an empirical approach that leads to important methodological and theoretical input. Current topics of research include but are not limited to writing theory, language change, grammaticalisation, text types, language development, psycholinguistics, digital humanities, language typology, corpus linguistics. An asset of Linguistics at Paderborn University is its direct connection between research and teaching.

Students will get a deep knowledge of the dynamics of language in this study programme. Language change is addressed in various ways, focussing on linguistic signs as well as on verbal communication. By taking into account synchronic as well as diachronic approaches, the development of at least three different languages (English, German, French, Spanish) is discussed from various linguistic perspectives. Approaches and changes in these approaches to methods and methodologies in linguistics are also part of the programme. It is a research-based study programme.

In learning centres, students are supported by staff & student tutors. The master's degree course in mathematics and technomathematics includes a "mathematical internship" with practice-oriented project work. In addition, the minor subject or technical focus subject can be expanded. In the Master's degree course, in addition to individual courses, a Master's focus is identified each year, i.e. coordinated courses introduce students to a research area. Teacher training courses cover a spectrum from special needs education to the Teaching Qualification for Grammar and Comprehensive Schools.

The Paderborn physics study is characterized i.a. through an innovative laboratory course. The aim of the award-winning concept is to build on the scientific work in research and structured learning from the first semester onwards. Doctoral students accompany the learning process as role models and experts and provide individual feedback. In another project, the lectures and exercises will be didactically revised to the acquisition of expertise especially during the challenging period of the introductory phase.

The main research areas in Paderborn are in the areas of material physics, optical technologies and quantum technologies. Accordingly, the institute "Photonic Quantum Systems, PhoQS "and also the special research area of the German Research Foundation with the topic" Tailored Nonlinear Photonics "(SFB TRR 142) are located at the University of Paderborn. Students benefit from this through forward-looking research topics for their theses. Connected seminar series such as the" Graduate Lecture "or the" Journal Club ”promote the scientific way of working.
