Exclusivity: Small groups instead of huge lecture halls
The Bauhaus University and the LISZT SCHOOL of Music Weimar have a combined student population of only 5,500. And just as Weimar has set a high standard as a center of culture, the city remains true to this tradition of excellence with its schools. These are small institutions with an almost exclusive character about them and they are equipped with the latest in modern equipment. Lecture halls and seminar rooms are fitted with electronic blackboards and state-of-the-art multimedia technology. Overcrowded classrooms, which are part and parcel of larger German universities, are unknown here. Personal contact between students and teachers is simply taken for granted. The individual faculties, the library and the commons are located in different buildings throughout the city. But since Weimar is small, the distances between them aren't large. And in a way you could say that students actually do study on a campus - it just so happens that that campus is the whole city of Weimar.
Bigger Perspective
The university actively encourages students to take a look beyond their own backyards and venture into other fields of study. In the grand old tradition of Goethe and the "Bauhaus," the emphasis here is on interdisciplinary work.
