How to learn
MAOT supports students with their studies and facilitates learning in different ways:
Small groups
Most of the courses are for MAOT students only, which is why they are held in small groups of about ten students. Here, communication and discussion are the fundamental approach rather than simply ‚teaching and listening‘. Student pesentations are obligatory for many courses.
Intensive courses
Where necessary and appropriate certain parts of courses will be taught in intensive sessions, for example in one-day-courses or weekend seminars.
Practice makes perfect
Practical exercises are integrated into teaching theoretical knowledge. Demonstrations and experiments in the lab are part of most courses, including one lab course for each major topic. All students complete a compulsory internship at a scientific institution or a company.
Optics building
The joint SAOT/MAOT building houses lab facilities that are used for research activities in the two degree programmes. Work stations with computers are available exclusively for MAOT students.
