Impact Learning

Studying with Impact: Developing competencies through project-based learning

• What is Impact Learning?

Impact Learning (SQM-funded) connects the university and society. We support students in the solution of real-world challenges within their studies, together with partners from academia, industry and civil society. Through this, a positive societal effect (= Impact), oriented to TU Braunschweig’s transfer strategy and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN, can arise.

• In Collaboration with Practice-based Partners

In impact learning, practice partners are integrated into the curriculum. In impact courses with impact projects and at the meeting point "Wissenskiosk" students collaborate with practice partners, apply their knowledge in a practical setting, and engage with real-world questions and perspectives.

• Make an Impact: Our Support

To ensure the collaboration succeeds, we support the process – with financial project funding, the Sandkasten platform with personal coaching, digital tools, the Impact Week and offerings for skills development.

Because: 66.7 % of students wished for more practical relevance in their studies (student survey “How are you?”, 2022).
