Wegweiser Bachelor

Students of the Bachelor’s degree programme in Transport Economics must take focus modules from the 4th semester onwards. Three of the five possible specialisations must be selected.

So that you are well informed about the specialisations, there will be a Bachelor’s signposting on 19.01. at 11:10 a.m. in the POT 168 (Zeichensaal) and on 27.01. at 2:50 p.m. in the POT 151.

At the first event, the professors will inform you about the focal points of your degree programme.

At the second event, students will tell you about their experiences in the specialisations.

Both events will be held as hybrid events. This means that participants will be able to attend both from the university and via a BBB room.

The first meeting of the new FSR will be the constituent meeting on 09.01.2023, where we will again send all committee representatives. We have already compiled further information here.

Here’s to a good new legislature in 2023!

When you register, you will also find descriptions of the respective positions so that you can already see how the respective committees work and what they are responsible for.

For further information, we are always happy to help you in person at the FSR office or by e-mail.

We are looking forward to your candidatures!

Prof. Becker and Dr. Frank receive the first teaching award of the Faculty of Transportation Sciences!

On Faculty Day, the first Transportation Sciences Faculty Teaching Awards were presented.

The one for basic courses (VIW Grundstudium and Bachelor VWI) was awarded to Prof. Udo Becker for his course “Environment & Transport (Umwelt & Verkehr)”.

The one for advanced courses (VIW Hauptstudium and Master studies) was awarded to Dr. Stefan Frank for his course “Resource Management (Ressourcenmanagement)”.

We would like to thank both lecturers very much for their commitment to our faculty and are pleased that we were able to award the teaching prize to them this year. It is even nicer that both Prof. Becker and Dr. Frank have donated the prize money of 250€ to the Student Council, for which we thank them very much!

We would like to thank all of you students for your hard work in voting and writing explanations and the dean’s office for their support, e.g. in the faculty council.

The justifications in German for the awarding of the teaching prize can be found below:


Prof. Becker hat es in seiner Vorlesung „Umwelt & Verkehr“ geschafft, die fachrelevanten Inhalte mit humorvollen Spitzen darzustellen. Er bestach durch außerordentlich spannende und engagierte Vortragsweise und stellte seine Inhalte äußerst anschaulich und verständlich dar.

Die Lehrveranstaltung, deren Akzeptanz man auch am Besuch von Studierenden diverser anderer Studiengänge im Rahmen von Wahl- oder AQUA-Modulen beobachten konnte, ging weit über den Wortsinn „Vorlesung“ heraus. Der Dozent hat die Studierenden auf eine spannende und unterhaltsame Reise durch das Thema mitgenommen. In seinen Vorlesungen regte er die Studierenden zum Nachdenken an und wog dabei gekonnt verschiedene Positionen ab. Gegenwärtige verkehrspolitische Themen wurden dabei ebenso behandelt wie wichtige physikalische und chemische Grundlagen im Bereich der Ökologie.

Mit aktuellen Daten und Fakten legte Prof. Becker ausführlich und gleichzeitig verständlich dar, welchen Einfluss der Verkehr und damit unser Studiengebiet auf das Klima, die Gesellschaft und die Umwelt hat. Durch viele praxisrelevante Beispiele animierte er dazu, den eigenen Blickwinkel zu ändern und sein eigenes Verhalten zu überdenken. Dabei nahm er in jeglicher Hinsicht kein Blatt vor den Mund, um den Studierenden die politische und gesellschaftliche Bedeutung eines der wichtigsten Zukunftsthemen, nämlich dem Klimawandel und dessen Verhinderung, zu vermitteln.

Damit hat er einen außergewöhnlichen Beitrag zu unseren Verkehrsstudiengängen geleistet und somit den Lehrpreis unserer Fakultät für grundständige Lehre 2022 verdient.


Dr. Frank war in seiner Vorlesung „Ressourcenmanagement“ sehr engagiert und hat das Interesse an Fragestellungen insbesondere zu Onlineproblemen und dynamischen Einflüssen gesteigert. Jede Lehrveranstaltung wurde dabei in hybrider Form so durchgeführt, dass sowohl Studierende, die in Präsenz anwesend waren, als auch im Videocall zugeschaltete Studierende aktiv an der Vorlesung bzw. der Übung teilnehmen konnten.

In der Lehrveranstaltung brachte er vielfältige Aspekte aus der Verkehrslogistik ein und gab einen umfassenden Überblick über Problemstellungen, um anschließend viel Zeit zu investieren, mit jedem einzelnen Studierenden gemeinsam an einem konkreten Thema für Hausarbeiten zu arbeiten und Lösungen zu entwickeln. Er stand dabei den Studierenden bei Rückfragen immer, auch außerhalb der vorgesehenen Wochenstunden des Moduls, zur Verfügung. 

In der Vorlesung gab es aus jeder Vertiefung immer wieder passende Beispiele, die die Theorie veranschaulichten, was insbesondere deshalb sinnvoll war, da es sich um ein Wahlpflichtmodul aus verschiedenen Studiengängen und Vertiefungsrichtungen handelte.
Bemerkenswert war des Weiteren, dass er seine Vorlesung zusätzlich freiwillig vom ZiLL evaluieren ließ, um ein Feedback für seine Lehre zu bekommen.

Aufgrund dieses außerordentlichen Engagements möchten wir den Lehrpreis unserer Fakultät für weiterführende Lehre im Jahr 2022 an Dr. Frank vergeben.
