You should know that you UCF is a rather small place. So we started not so long ago.
We are rather small team. So what is really remarkable is how this team of motivated and knowledgeable people all work towards a common goal,
which is to realise a well-functioning and innovative study programme here in Germany, the Liberal Arts and Sciences programme.
So that's the first thing. The second thing is the close cooperation or the close interaction with students.
In the maximum, we would have about 350 students, which is actually not so much.
And what is really, really fascinating about UCF is that there is this communication between instructors and students,
which is much easier than in larger groups. In many of our courses, only 20 students are present, and these students are inspired by the instructors,
and they also inspire instructors to trade to try new teaching methods
and to teach them what they are really interested in.
And the the other thing, which is quite unusual at UFC is that this is a place where people from different faculties,
from different departments, meet, they come here to teach, they come here for exchange.
And this becomes this site of intellectual cross-fertilisation,
so to say where they can come and teach something which they sometimes are not able to teach at the university, something that really fascinates them.
So I find it also remarkable.
