The Hohenheim teaching prize is an important signal that good teaching has a high priority at the University of Hohenheim.
Teaching should motivate and be creative, and awaken passion and enthusiasm in the students for continuing in science after their studies. That is why the criteria for nomination include outstanding evaluations, innovative teaching concepts, didactically excellent structure and aids, well-supervised e-learning, or preparation courses for new students. The departmental student representatives of the faculties each nominate one candidate each year who fulfills these criteria. The Hohenheim teaching prize has the highest award amount at University of Hohenheim. The award money of €10,000 is to be used for teaching. The award-winner decides on how it is used.
