THU has two campuses.
You can also call them campuses.
Research is also conducted at a university .
The scientists
discover and invent new things.
Students conduct research as well.
They publish their findings,
for example in a thesis or in academic journals.
Here at THU, we conduct research on many topics,
for example:
Research is important for every field of science.
THU is committed to
fair trade around the world and to sustainability.
Fair trade means:
For example, Fair Trade chocolate:
Farmers
often receive very little money for their cocoa beans.
In Fair Trade, they are paid a higher price.
That is why a bar of Fair Trade chocolate often costs more.
We at THU
We also value sustainability.
This means:
That is why students also learn a lot about sustainability and environmental protection during their studies at
.
And we are very proud
of our new university building on the Eselsberg:
