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 .

"Engineering Science" stellt die breitgefächerte Grundlage für eine vertiefte ingenieurwissenschaftliche Ausbildung dar. Bayreuther Absolventinnen und Absolventen sind bekannt für ihre umfassenden Kenntnisse in allen ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Bereichen und somit häufig kommunikative Vermittler zwischen ausgewiesenen Spezialisten, beispielsweise auf dem Gebiet der Elektrotechnik und des Maschinenbaus.

"Umwelt- und Ressourcentechnologie" steht im Zeichen von Umweltschutz und Rohstoffsicherung im ökologisch-gesellschaftlichen Gesamtkontext. Der Studiengang kombiniert ingenieur- und geowissenschaftliche Aspekte miteinander, um sich den drängenden Fragen des Umweltschutzes, der Rohstoffverknappung und des Klimawandels zu stellen. Der interdisziplinäre Teil beschäftigt sich wiederum mit den ökologischen Folgen und geowissenschaftlichen Aspekten. Im gesellschaftswissenschaftlichen bzw. ökonomischen Grundlagenbereich kann das Zusatzstudium Umweltrecht absolviert werden.

Our department offers excellent study conditions in a wonderful location. Teaching has a strong research focus due to the active involvement of students in many research projects. You will benefit from the department’s excellent student-teacher-ratio. Tutors help the effective learning in small tutorial groups. As part of the mentoring programme, each student is supported by a professor in choosing a specialisation, e.g. in data science, visual computing, interactive systems, software systems engineering, algorithmics, or computational life sciences.

The department carries out joint research on methods and systems used to visualise, analyse, explore and process large information spaces. This shared profile is reflected in the research of our working groups, who specialise in different application areas such as big data, cyber-physical systems, health, network science or software certification. Our department plays a central role in the Cluster of Excellence “Centre of the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour” and various other interdisciplinary projects.

Unseren internationalen Studiengang passen die Studierenden an ihre akademischen Ziele oder Karrierepläne an: Über den Fast Track beginnen sie im Masterstudium mit ihrer Promotion, oder sie spezialisieren sich in einer der fünf Vertiefungsrichtungen. Wenn sie sich nicht festlegen möchten, wählen sie die Generalisierung und stellen sich so ihr Studium selbst zusammen. Über unsere Double Degree Optionen können die Studierenden ein Jahr in Konstanz und ein Jahr im Ausland studieren und zwei Masterabschlüsse erwerben.

Der interdisziplinäre Studiengang vermittelt zu gleichen Teilen ökonomisches und mathematisches Wissen. Schwerpunkt im wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Teil ist die Analyse von Finanzmärkten, in der Mathematik Methoden aus den Bereichen Analysis, Algebra und Stochastik. Die Studierenden lernen, mit modernen mathematischen Techniken ökonomische Fragen zu beantworten und wirtschaftliche Entscheidungsprobleme zu analysieren und legen damit den Grundstein für eine Karriere im Versicherungs- oder Bankenwesen zu legen.

The Department of Linguistics attaches great importance to research-based teaching and solid methodological training. We have developed courses that cover a wide range of methodological tools and plan to expand them: Aspects of data collection (corpus analysis, experimental methods including psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic techniques), data modeling and derivation (statistics, formal methods) and methods for automatic processing of human language and AI applications.
