Early entry to university is the right thing for you if you would like to get your bearings during your time at school (upper school) and gain an initial insight into the relevant degree course. As part of the early study program, you can take coursework and examinations that can be credited towards a later degree course.

Early entry is the right option for you if you want to get your bearings while still at school (upper school) and gain an initial insight into the relevant degree course. With early entry distance learning, you can take part in courses online from home without having to come to Kaiserslautern. This allows you to individually integrate your studies into your current life circumstances.

>> Early entry physics (Kaiserslautern)

Are you particularly good at a subject and want to put your knowledge to the test alongside school? You can take part in various competition formats or prepare for them.

>> Science Fair
>>Training camp for the Mathematical Olympiad
>> Preparation for the Chemistry Olympiad
>> Preparation seminar for the state physics competition

Offers for the teacher

A close exchange between school practice and research is the basic idea behind the network schools. Here, selected schools in the region and the RPTU cooperate as equal partners. They conduct joint research on important issues relating to schools, teaching and teacher training. Scientific findings for modern teacher training are thus combined with practical pedagogical solutions in an innovative way.
