Why Kaiserslautern?

Excellence in both research and teaching: three flagship programs of the German Science Foundation are complemented by award-winning lecturing.

Our department has a strong team spirit! Faculty mentors and teachers have open doors. You can come right in and work directly with your professors.

Collaborate with associated research institutes and local high-tech companies.

Live smart! Kaiserslautern sits on the edge of the great Palatinate Forest, with hundreds of kilometers of hiking and bike trails. At the same time major cities are within easy reach by German rail—Paris is less than three hours away. Kaiserslautern itself has the cafés and concerts of a European city, and our affordable student housing is close to both campus and downtown.
