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 .

Teaching in general is closely related to research; most of the courses are interactive and discussion-based. The aim of the bachelor’s programme is to provide students with basic knowledge of ancient history (political events, economic and social developments) as well as material and intellectual heritage (ancient sources and monuments) of ancient civilisations, whereas the MA-programme on the other hand leads students to special problems in Ancient History. Special importance is attached to writing skills and the integration of Digital Humanities.

Research is done manifold: There are the individual scientific interests of the members of the department as well as research projects where two or more members are integrated, and of course there are cooperations with institutions abroad, often using an interdisciplinary approach. This leads to a number of publications (in print or digital).
