Future-oriented courses, practical training and a modern infrastructure: this is what students at Rhineland-Palatinate's only technical/engineering-oriented university have come to expect.
TU Kaiserslautern's "Excellence in Teaching" award – as one of six winning universities nationwide – is living proof of the importance of teaching at the university.
It is a campus university with around 14,200 students, offering over 100 future-oriented courses across 12 subject areas. Its compact size ensures close contact with lecturers and excellent support. With so many attractive courses – from biophysics, biological and chemical engineering and food chemistry, through to industrial mathematics – the TU has a lot to offer its students. Most courses follow an interdisciplinary approach, thus connecting various areas of expertise. Studying a MINT subject (mathematics, IT, natural sciences, technology) offers exciting career opportunities and, not least, good earning potential.
