Cyber defence made in NRW – two new degree programmes in computer science

The university must be a place where you can develop, where your personality can mature. When, if not during your studies, do you learn to keep your stance and stand up for your position? Teaching content should be accessible to all, networked, digital and of high quality. The Corona pandemic has forcibly moved digitalisation forward. Professors and lecturers were forced to prepare their content at least partially digitally. But in my opinion, there are still major deficits and a lot of room for improvement. I switched my lecture to a scaled, digital format in February 2020. Anyone who wants to attend can do so. Since the lecture isn’t live, everyone can learn the content at their own pace. This works fairly well in my department, but it doesn‘t mean that this concept can be equally applied to other degree programmes.
