A big pat on the shoulder from the students
Bjarne Schmidt is highly appreciated by the students who describe him as being a professional, skilled, humorous, creative, helpful and especially inspiring teacher – in short a superb communicator.

In the nomination, that comes from the students and the Academic Study Board, it appears that Bjarne Schmidt holds a special ability to communicate, the often, difficult material in a pedagogical and enthusiastic manner. He manages to catch everyone’s attention and almost mesmerize the audience with quirky experiments and crooked ideas.
Creates a healthy study environment
In addition to his commitment in teaching, Bjarne Schmidt also influences the joint activities of the institute – for example he participates in the planning of the Science Festival.
Bjarne Schmidt has previously been recognized for his exceptional teaching abilities – as he is the only teacher who has received the BHJ Foundation’s Teaching Prize twice in 2009 and 2011.
