About Universität Koblenz-Landau (jetzt: Universität Koblenz/RPTU)
The University of Koblenz is one of Germany's youngest universities, located on a single campus in the Metternich district of Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate. It is organised into four faculties: Educational Sciences, Philology / Cultural Studies, Mathematics / Natural Sciences, and Computer Science. The university describes its research profile around four interconnected areas: Education, Computer Science, Culture and Communication, and Materials and Environment.
Until 2022 the institution operated as Universität Koblenz-Landau with two campuses; following a split the Koblenz campus became the independent Universität Koblenz (also referred to in the context of RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau). The Koblenz campus currently enrols approximately 9,700 students and offers Bachelor's, Master's, and distance-learning programmes, with both German-taught and English-taught options available.
International degree-seeking students apply through uni-assist and are supported by the International Relations Office, which coordinates incoming exchange and full-degree students, accommodation placement, and an International Mentoring Programme.

Admissions & fees
What it costs
No tuition fees are charged for a first degree (Bachelor's or first consecutive Master's). Students who have already completed a Master's degree at a German or other European university are charged €650 per semester. A semester contribution (Semesterbeitrag) is payable each semester; it covers partial administration costs, student union contributions, Studierendenwerk social services, and a semester ticket for local public transport in Koblenz. The exact semester contribution amount should be verified on the university's current fees page, as it is subject to annual revision. Rhineland-Palatinate does not impose the non-EU surcharge that Baden-Württemberg charges.
Admission requirements
International applicants with foreign qualifications typically apply through uni-assist before being processed by the university's own admissions office. A recognised university entrance qualification (Hochschulzugangsberechtigung) is required; individual programmes may additionally require language certificates, aptitude tests, or portfolio submissions. Applicants from India, China (mainland, HK, Macau), and Vietnam must hold a valid APS certificate before enrolling in a German university. Application deadlines for international applicants may differ from domestic deadlines; the International Relations Office ([email protected]) should be contacted for programme-specific requirements.
Application deadlines
For Winter Semester (starting October): restricted-admission programmes 15 June - 15 July; unrestricted programmes 15 June - 30 September. For Summer Semester (starting April): restricted-admission programmes 15 December - 15 January; unrestricted programmes 15 December - 15 March. Different deadlines may apply to international applicants with foreign qualifications; the International Relations Office should be consulted.
Languages of instruction
The majority of programmes are taught in German. English-taught programmes are available, as are programmes taught in both German and English. The university's programme finder includes filters for 'Deutsch', 'Englisch', and 'Deutsch und Englisch' tracks. A language-proficiency certificate (e.g. DSH or TestDaF for German-taught programmes) is required; exact levels vary by programme.
Entry requirements, intake dates and language levels differ for every degree.
