Active participation in the development of a joint quality management system
The fusion to form the Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität (RPTU) brought with it significant changes, including in the area of quality management. The subsystems of RPTU in Kaiserslautern and Landau are currently being continued in their existing form. At the same time, a new joint QMS for teaching and learning is being developed, which will replace the two subsystems from 2026.
In addition to the application of mandatory instruments and measures, the development of a common quality culture and an ongoing quality discussion are crucial to achieving this objective. An effective QMS requires a university-specific understanding of quality.
Our ambition is therefore to directly support the relevant stakeholders, from university management representatives to students, in developing a common understanding of quality across all locations. Suitable evaluation and participation formats should help to highlight differences and similarities in the stakeholders' understanding of quality and promote a discussion on quality towards a common understanding.
We are pleased to invite you to visit our website to find out about the progress and developments of the joint RPTU QMS for teaching and learning. If you would like to make a statement, you are welcome to do so here.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Note
The quality assurance systems described on this page are being phased out. New processes applicable across the entire RPTU are already in effect for the establishment, modification, and discontinuation of degree programs. You can find the latest information, procedures, and documents on the page “Establishment, Modification, and Discontinuation of a Degree Program.”
The Quality Management System (QMS) for the RPTU’s academic and teaching operations currently consists of two subsystems, which evolved from the accredited QMSs of the original campuses—the Technical University of Kaiserslautern and the Landau Campus of the former University of Koblenz-Landau.
These two subsystems are scheduled to be replaced in 2027 by a unified QMS for RPTU. Until then, both systems will remain in effect without change.
