The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 What \u201cEducation\u201d Means in Bavaria \u2013 6<\/p>\n
Sueddeutsche Zeitung: Herr Huber, will you be making the idea of a formally constituted advisory body of students a reality at the University of Munich?<\/p>\n Huber: That is part of what we offered in return for an end to the occupation of the main auditorium at the university. That didn\u2019t happen in December, so our offer no longer stands. However, what is at least as important is an improvement in the course of studies for the bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees. This is where the government has to be prepared for more deregulation at state universities, for example in the case of the guidelines that govern the number of semesters required in certain areas of study. And the universities have to stop continually restructuring courses of studies with our traditional Germanic thoroughness. That sort of thing makes life unnecessarily difficult for students.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Burtscheidt, C., und Thurau, M., “Der Protest wird weitergehen”, Sueddeutsche Zeitung Online, 18.12.2009.<\/p>\n *In the area of engineering\/technology and computer sciences, according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities compiled by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked with twenty-two other universities at 78 or below, well beneath such institutions as the Technical University of Denmark. (http:\/\/www.arwu.org\/ARWUFIELD2009ENG.jsp) According to The Times of London, in its Higher Education Supplement [THES], World University Rankings, 2009, the Technical University of Munich is ranked 55 overall among the world\u2019s universities. That is, for example, seven places below Seoul National University. <\/p>\n \u201cWhile the traditional study-abroad sites for Americans \u2014 Britain, Italy, Spain and France \u2014 still attract more students from the United States, the report found that China is now the fifth-most-popular destination.\u201d \u2013 The New York Times, 17 November 2008<\/p>\n And what about Germany?<\/em><\/p>\n Novel: http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/revision<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n 2 FEBRUAR 2010, DIENSTAG, D\u00dcSSELDORF, DEUTSCHLAND<\/p>\n Die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen* \u2013 Was man in Bayern Bildung nennt \u2013 6<\/p>\n SZ: Herr Huber, f\u00fchren Sie an der LMU die Verfasste Studentenschaft ein?<\/p>\n Huber: Das war Teil unseres Angebots, das jedoch die Freigabe des Audimax zur Bedingung hatte. Dies ist nicht erfolgt, womit die Grundlage f\u00fcr das Angebot entf\u00e4llt. Mindestens so wichtig ist, wie wir zu Verbesserungen in den Bachelor- und Masterstudieng\u00e4ngen kommen. Hier muss der Staat zu mehr Deregulierung bereit sein – etwa was die Vorgaben zur Regelstudienzeit betrifft.
