The merger to form the Rhineland-Palatinate University of Technology (RPTU) brought about significant changes, including in the area of quality management. Currently, the RPTU’s subsystems in Kaiserslautern and Landau are continuing to operate in their existing forms. At the same time, a new, joint QMS for academic programs and teaching is being developed, which is scheduled to replace the two subsystems starting in 2026.
About the Kaiserslautern SubsystemAbout the Landau Subsystem
To achieve the goal of a common QMS, it is crucial not only to implement mandatory tools and measures but also to foster a shared culture of quality and engage in an ongoing dialogue about quality. An effective QMS requires an understanding of quality that is specific to higher education.
Our goal is therefore to directly support the relevant stakeholders—from university leadership representatives to students—in developing a shared, campus-wide understanding of quality. Appropriate evaluation and participation formats are intended to help identify differences and commonalities in the stakeholders’ understanding of quality and to advance a quality dialogue toward a shared understanding.
