600 students attend the “College and Careers” lecture series

The lecture series “College and Career,” which took place on March 6 at RPTU in Kaiserslautern, was well attended. Organized jointly by the RPTU and the Kaiserslautern-Pirmasens Employment Agency, the event provided information on the requirements, course content, and career prospects for numerous university degree programs.

Following opening remarks by Dr. Stefan Löhrke, Vice President for Academic Affairs at RPTU in Kaiserslautern, the program featured 25 presentations that provided an overview of the available degree programs. The students were able to learn what studying at the university level fundamentally entails, what skills and interests they should bring to a degree program, what coursework is covered in each field of study, and what career prospects result from it. Thus, the “Study and Career” lecture series is an important component of academic and career guidance.

The presentation of the RPTUzero orientation program generated a great deal of interest among the high school students. Over the course of a semester, it offers the opportunity to gain greater confidence in choosing a degree program through firsthand experience—such as attending classes or gaining a deeper insight into campus life.
