As a brass group in our faculty, especially the forestry faculty, we want to maintain the tradition of blowing the hunting horn and fill it with content. The regular activities of the Hunting Horn Brass Choir include participation in larger events and festive occasions of our faculty, including the traditional "blowing out" of the newly graduated doctors after the thesis defence as well as the Hubertus masses at the beginning of November. We also support you in learning how to blow a hunting horn and all signals for forestry practice. In addition to the weekly practice evenings, there are regular brass instrument seminars and hunting opportunities. In order to maintain our extensive and demanding repertoire and to be able to carry out the numerous activities, we will continue to need brass players in the future who are committed and enjoy the music and who actively contribute to the group! Hereyou will find more information.

The system accreditation is a measure for the internal quality assurance of the study programs at each faculty of the University of Göttingen. It pursues the goal of checking the quality of the degree programs using a catalog of criteria, to safeguard them and, if necessary, improve them. It thus replaces the previous program accreditation, in which an individual course or cluster of courses was checked for compliance with minimum standards.
System Accreditation

As part of the quality assurance of studies and teaching, a student survey on teaching quality is carried out at the university every semester. At our faculty, all courses are evaluated in every survey. All lecturers are obliged to have their course evaluated by the students using a centrally issued questionnaire. The evaluation results are analyzed by the Dean of Studies and suitable measures to improve the quality of teaching are derived from them.

The university didactics program in Göttingen is aimed at teachers who want to optimize their courses and modules from a didactic point of view in order to promote motivation, commitment and sustainable learning among the students while keeping an eye on the individuality of the learning processes.
