RPTU University of Kaiserslautern-Landau offers a Young Talent Program for international prospective students

Breaking down admission barriers and making it easier for young talents from around the world to start their studies: This winter, the RPTU is promoting this for the first time with a 'Young International Talent Program’. During an orientation week in Kaiserslautern in the second week of December, prospective international get to know their desired subject, campus life, and the city. This gives them also the opportunity to enroll directly for a pre-semester at RPTU, even if they do not yet have formal university entrance qualifications. Applications can be submitted online until October 31, 2025.

"The orientation program is open to international students aged 17 to 19 who are in their final or penultimate year of school and who show strong academic performance in STEM subjects, and are highly motivated to study science, technology, engineering, or mathematics in Germany. We support particularly talented young people in a pre-semester program, during which they acquire formal admission requirements such as language skills, and facilitate or shorten their access to our degree programs," says Oliver Frör, RPTU Vice President for International Affairs, Sustainability, and Structural Development, describing the significance of the orientation program.

The basic orientation week will take place from December 8 to 12 in Kaiserslautern. It includes a five-day academic and cultural program. The RPTU provides support with travel planning and finding accommodation. Particularly talented applicants also receive financial support in the form of partial scholarships.

“In addition to direct applicants, German schools that cooperate with schools in other parts of the world and would like to pass on our offer are also welcome to contact us. We also welcome citizens who have family members abroad who are interested in studying STEM subjects,” explains Dr. Parya Memar, who heads the International Affairs Department at RPTU.
