<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:110%">Im Laufe Ihres WU-Studiums lernen Sie laufend neue Facetten der Lehre kennen – und damit auch verschiedene Lehrdesigns, Konzepte und Methoden. Doch das, was häufig am meisten prägt und in Erinnerung bleibt, sind
die Lehrenden selbst – indem sie Inhalte spannend und verständlich aufbereiten, Interesse und Neugier für bestimmte Themen wecken oder Studierende besonders fördern und motivieren.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:110%"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:110%">Lehrende, die sich in der Lehre besonders engagieren, werden an der WU seit 2001 mit unterschiedlichen Lehrpreisen ausgezeichnet. Im heurigen Jahr wurden die Lehrpreise vom neuen Rektorat in Kooperation mit der
ÖH WU neu aufgesetzt. Die Studierenden werden nun stärker in den Auswahlprozess eingebunden und Sie haben daher heuer erstmals die Möglichkeit Vorschläge für den Preis für Exzellente Lehre einzubringen.
