The idea of the Student College at the RPTU in Landau follows a peer-to-peer approach: students appointed to the college act as tutors and conduct supplementary and in-depth courses in addition to the regular courses offered. They are accompanied by lecturers who act as mentors. Tutors and mentors apply together as a "tandem". Within the framework of kick-off events and workshops, the tandems receive targeted offers that support them, in particular, in deepening their repertoire of methods and media in teaching.

Goal

With the establishment of the Student College at the RPTU in Landau, the following goals are focused on: 

1. Expansion and depth of course offerings in the Faculty that align with the students’ and instructors’ needs (e.g., Tutorials, exercises, participating in existing courses etc.) 

2. Support of students as member of the College: Fellows teach existing courses as part of the “learn through Teaching” idea (achieving deeper knowledge of subject matter, supporting their academic independence, their interest and motivation in the subject matter and social competencies) 

3. Support of instructors as members of the College: Support in the teaching, feedback from guiding the student member and growth as a mentor
