The lecture period  starts on 26.10.

Whether the winter semester 2020/21 can take place without restrictions as a classic attendance study programme is and will remain questionable for the foreseeable future.

For the first semester, an attempt will be made to offer and conduct as much face-to-face teaching as possible. Exercises and tutorials for the lectures will, if possible, be offered exclusively as face-to-face lectures.

Lectures will be offered as attendance courses. If the distance regulations do not allow all students to attend, a subset of the audience will be able to listen to the lecture in the lecture hall (in-situ), the others only in the form of an online lecture (ex-situ). In this case, a rotation principle will be organized so that there will be a change of in-situ and ex-situ forms for each student.

The online lectures will be synchronized with the classroom lecture, i.e. they will be broadcast live. Whether a recording can be made available is not yet clear.

For freshmen, a series of information and introductory events will be offered in the 43rd calendar week (from 19-23 October). Participation in these events is indispensable for a successful study.

Detailed information about the "PROWO" introductory week for first semester students, organized by the student council, will follow as far as it is available.

Since we will try to offer as much face-to-face teaching as possible in the winter semester, we strongly recommend you to look for accommodation in or near Kaiserslautern.

While studying

October/November

Visit the lectures (VL), exercises (Ü) and tutorials (T) regularly. Prepare the learning material before and after. For every hour you spend in lectures, exercises and tutorials, you must spend the same number of hours in a week for preparation and follow-up. Prepare for the examinations to the same extent.

Rule: 1 ECTS point means 30 hours of study:

• 10 hours of study,
• 10 hours preparation and follow-up work for house/library/learning rooms
• 10 hours exam preparation

Form study groups!

When will I receive the notification of admission?

Notifications of admission are processed after receipt. As a rule, admission notices are sent out from mid-July onwards.

 
Where can I find timetables?

There are no timetables like at school. You compile your own timetable for each semester based on the examination regulations, the study plans and the course catalogue. You will be shown how to compile your timetable during breakfasts with the student council.

What is a study plan?

A study plan is a recommendation on how an average student can distribute the workload (calculated in ECTS credits) on courses in such a way that it can be studied within the standard period of study (as far as possible) without overlaps. The study plan is by no means to be considered binding. Other procedures can and will be developed individually.

 
Where can I find the course catalogue?

The course catalogue can be found on the websites of the TU and the faculty as HIS (Communication and Information System)

Students then use the KIS-Office [https://office.kis.uni-kl.de]
