UniGR student status
The UniGR student status allows students to benefit from numerous advantages of the University of the Greater Region and to study and live in an international and interdisciplinary way. Students of RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau may use the UniGR student status to enrol at one or more of the partner universities (Liège, Luxembourg, Lorraine, Saarland University, Trier as well as htw saar), where they can attend lectures and sit exams, transfer up to 10 ECTS per semester for their study course at their home university, borrow books for free or use the cafeterias at reduced rates. There are no enrolment fees. It is thus very easy to gather intercultural experiences and become familiar with and help shape the different methods of teaching, learning and research at the partner universities in the neighbouring countries and states.
Please note: To ensure that the credits obtained at the partner university will be recognized at Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau it is advised to sign a learning agreement.

3. Register with the application portal (instructions can be found here)
4. In the application portal, select an admission-free study course that suits the course that you would like to attend and complete the application.
5. Contact the Student Service Center (info@rptu.de) with a short email that you have applied via the application portal and would like to be enroled as a UniGR student.
