U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

This major gives a fundamental understanding of the theoretical principles of software and digital systems within the context of current technology. It is designed for career-oriented students as well as for students who wish to pursue graduate studies. Our program is balanced between theoretical and applied courses. In addition to developing computing-related skills, the student will gain awareness of the human and social aspects of computer systems, and how computer science relates to other disciplines. The student has the opportunity to earn a minor either in Math or in Actuarial Science.

Smart products integrate mechanics with sensor technology, computer science, and actuator technology. To equip students with the skills necessary to develop them, the program covers simulation and modelling methods, design aspects, as well as how to ensure product quality and how to assess risk. Due to the unique integration with other master’s programs, students learn to work in an interdisciplinary way during their studies and are thus prepared for the challenges of heterogeneous fields of work. Graduates are able to meet possible resistance and can thus successfully manage digital change.

The Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Mechanical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. The mechanical engineering major prepares students for a variety of careers in the design and construction of mechanical systems. The production, transformation, transmission and control of thermal and mechanical energy constitute one of the main tracks that rely on thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. This track leads to applications in internal combustion engines, steam and gas power plants and HVAC.

The SOM has been a national leader in adopting a modern curriculum integrating basic and clinical sciences with early hands-on experience. A basic goal of the curriculum is to equip students with skills and attitudes required for independent life-long learning and critical thinking. Its varied educational strategies include small-group teaching, experiential learning, and inter-professional and simulation-based education. From its inception the SOM has emphasized a social and global orientation to medicine.

Students learn in relatively small classrooms (enrollment is capped at 40 students). Many advanced classes have 20-25 students. All classrooms are smart classrooms; enabling faculty to post outlines and share short videos and other content with students. Class discussions are a must and are often continued outside class through discussion threads on Black Board. Classes include lectures, discussions, simulations, debates and group work. Guest speakers are invited in a number of classes.
