The University of Kaiserslautern (German "Technische Universität Kaiserslautern") is a university located in Kaiserslautern, Germany. It was founded in 1970 and is organized in 10 Faculties.

History

The University of Kaiserslautern was founded on the 13th July, 1970. Earlier it was part of the twin University Trier / Kaiserslautern. In the winter semester 1970 / 1971 student and scientific activities started with the matriculation of 191 new students the faculties in Mathematics, Physics and Technology. In 1972 the set-up of the faculties Chemistry and Biology gave a boost to the extension of a scientifically specialized structure. At the same time the faculty of Technology was split into the faculties Mechanical Engineering and Electrotechnology, Architecture / Regional and Environmental Planning / Educational Sciences. The University of Kaiserslautern became independent after the separation from its partner University Trier in 1975. The following faculties, which were established successively, continuously strengthened the University’s scientific character: Electrotechnology (1975), later Electro and Computer Science Technology (1999), Computer Science (1975), Engineering (1975), later Mechanical and Process Engineering (1995), Architecture / Regional and Environmental Planning / Civil Engineering (1978-1979) and Social and Economic Studies (1985). The official name of the University is “Technische Universität Kaiserslautern” according to the new law on Higher Education of the Land Rhineland Palatinate which came into force on the 1st September 2003.

There are currently 9,600 students registered at the university (2006).
