Change of study program and subject

If you wish to change your degree programme or progress from a bachelor's to a master's degree (double enrolment) or another study programme, this is called a degree programme change

If you want to change your major, minor or area of specialisation, this is a subject change.

 

For a change within the RPTU apply directly via the application portal. This refers to:

  • Degree programme
  • Subject
  • School type
  • Campus

 

***The following applies to the students enrolled in the first semester:***

You may apply for a subject change during the first two weeks after the start of the lectures. This can be done informally by sending an email to studsek-kl[at]rptu.de for the Kaiserslautern campus or studsek-ld[at]rptu.de for the Landau campus.

Note

Please note that you must re-register even if you apply for a change of degree program. If your application for a change of study program is not granted and you do not wish to continue your studies in the previous study program, you can apply for a refund of the social contribution paid.

Please also note: Changing your subject may affect your BAföG benefits. Please clarify the details in advance with the BAföG office.
