The Quality Management System (QMS) for the RPTU’s Academic and Teaching Division currently consists of two subsystems, which evolved from the accredited QMSs of the original campuses in Kaiserslautern and Landau. With the launch of the new RPTU, work began on developing a university-wide QMS for academic programs and teaching, which will replace the two subsystems.
To achieve this, at RPTU the cross-campus “Division 4: Quality in Studies and Teaching (QSL Division)” was established within the Office of Higher Education Development (HE Office) effective January 1, 2023. Division 4: Quality in Studies and Teaching is composed of members of the former Division for Quality in Studies and Teaching at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern and the former Staff Unit for Quality Assurance and Development in Studies and Teaching in Landau at the University of Koblenz-Landau. Within the QSL Unit, staff members are responsible for managing specific subsystems while also jointly developing the RPTU’s overall Quality Management System (QMS).
At the end of 2025, the QSL Division merged with what was then Division 3: Strategic Development in Studies and Teaching to form the now-combined Division of Instructional Development and Quality Assurance. The unit’s mission is to jointly advance both the strategic development and the ongoing quality assurance and improvement of all degree programs offered at RPTU.
