Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences (Kaiserslautern UAS) Summary
Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences (German: Hochschule Kaiserslautern) is a university of applied sciences in Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences is a public university in Kaiserslautern, Pirmasens and Zweibrücken. Its applied strengths are engineering, computing, business, design, logistics, chemistry and life sciences. 1971 – applied higher-education programs were developed in the regional state structure. Institutional development. Engineering, construction, design, business and computing were important early sectors. Today its academic profile consists of architecture, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, process engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, microsystems technology, medical technology, business, logistics, industrial engineering, design, applied chemistry, biotechnology and leather technology. The location is important because Kaiserslautern is part of a strong software, engineering and research region, Pirmasens provides materials, footwear, leather and logistics expertise and Zweibrücken supports business, computing, microsystems and life-science study.
The course portfolio in this master file includes 15 undergraduate and 14 postgraduate entries, with subject combinations grouped under their parent degrees where appropriate. Architecture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science (undergraduate); Applied Chemistry, Biotechnology, Leather and Textile Technology (later) Postgraduate study includes Architecture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Micro- and Nanotechnology, Product Refinement, Interior Architecture. Each course remains a parent qualification with specialisations noted in the course entry, not being misrepresented as separate degrees. Dual, cooperative, part-time and practice-integrated variants are kept within the relevant parent qualification, rather than as unrelated degrees.
Admission is done at the program level. Applicants use the university’s online portal and meet the course-specific deadline. Foreign qualifications may require uni-assist. For restricted programs, additional selection steps may apply. Dual/special programs may require a partner agreement. Before applying, applicants should check the language of instruction, semester of entry, subject prerequisites, selection procedure and document route. International School or University Qualifications External evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation where applicable or other proof of academic equivalence may be required. Master’s committees may ask for module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Entry to a doctorate is distinct from admission to a bachelors or masters degree and generally requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the relevant faculty.
There is no general tuition for normal degree study. Contributions for Winter term 2026/27 differ depending on the campus: Kaiserslautern: € 378.30 Pirmasens: € 375.80 Zweibrücken: € 149.00 (The total amount shown does not include a semester ticket). These institutional fees do not include accommodation, health insurance, food, educational materials, residence formalities, project expenses or personal travel. Special tuition may be applied in the case of continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree or long-term study formats, if provided for by the relevant law or program regulation. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards, but each funding application is assessed independently from admission.
Career preparation reflects the University's subject mix and is not a guarantyd placement scheme. Software and engineering companies, research institutes, logistics providers, medical-technology firms, materials businesses, manufacturers and regional start-ups offer projects and careers. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility, and an externally partnered thesis all contribute to students’ professional readiness. Kaiserslautern UAS is for students who want applied teaching, close professional links, flexible study formats and research-informed practice.
