The involvement of students plays a central role in quality assurance and development in studies and teaching at RPTU in Landau, as it is particularly important to us to incorporate the student perspective in all development procedures.

All students have the opportunity to actively express their opinions and give constructive feedback on the courses by participating in the various evaluation formats. At RPTU in Landau, the teaching evaluation team of the Methods Centre is responsible for conducting, evaluating and reporting on student surveys and thus supports the departments in implementing the university-wide concept for quality assurance in studies and teaching.

Students are represented in all committees that are an elementary component of the university's internal quality assurance subsystem. These are the

• Senate Committee for Quality in Studies and Teaching, which deals with structural issues relating to the mission statement for studies and teaching as well as the university-wide quality system, and the
• internal accreditation commissions (AKO I and AKO II), which oversee the procedures for establishment, modification and cancelling study programmes.

A permanent student member is always elected to the Senate Committee QST by the Landau Campus Council, while you can apply to participate in one of the AKOs in our

• internal student accreditation commission pool. For each AKO meeting, we then ask the pool for an interested student who would like to take part. For each study programme to be accredited, student members of the AKOs also receive an expense allowance in accordance with Annex 1 of the statutes for quality assurance and development in studies and teaching at RPTU in Landau. We have summarised all tasks in a handout for students in the internal student accreditation commission pool.

In the internal accreditation process, students also have the opportunity to submit a student statement, which is submitted to the expert group in addition to the department's accreditation documents and is thus directly incorporated into the assessment. A formalised template exists for this statement, which should serve as a guide for students. If a visit by the expert group is planned, the authors of the student statement will be informed in advance and asked to participate. The central contact for the QSL department is the Department of Studies & Student Councils of the AStA Landau.

We are also happy to act as contact persons in the event of scheduling conflicts between student courses or one of the above-mentioned committee activities or inspections. Talk to us at any time and we will find solutions together.
