With KLASSE, Koblenz-Landau - attractive studies ensure success[Koblenz-Landau. Attraktives Studium Sichert Erfolg - Bund-Länder-Programm für bessere Studienbedingungen und mehr Qualität in der Lehre (Qualitätspakt Lehre)]-  the university implemented measures in the 1st funding period to optimize study conditions and provide orientation and support for students. These now achieve a higher degree of employability and academic career opportunities. Since the ratio "students per professorship" is relevant for the ratio of graduates and students in the standard period of study, the university improves it by speeding up professorships. This is accompanied by an increase in the quality and research-based nature of teaching. The range of courses offered is supplemented by a competence-oriented two-subject bachelor's degree program that opens up scope for design.

In the 2nd funding period, a further improvement in the supervision ratio and an increase in quality and efficiency (increase in student satisfaction and the study success rate with a high level of graduates) were achieved in potential areas by means of the proven instrument "early professorships" and their equipment. With the measure "Online Excellence", forms of content and interaction in teaching were innovatively adapted. The study program portfolio was further solidified. Building on the results of the 1st period ("Competence Center for Studies and Career" and "Study Offices"), an integrative approach across all study sections was implemented to promote interdisciplinary competencies in all phases of academic qualification (study orientation and decision; study entry; study phase; career entry / master's, doctoral and post-doctoral phases).

Impulses for the growth of a quality culture and measures for university and personnel development belong closely together. This also applies to one of the university's core areas, "studies and teaching". Projects of various kinds were embedded in the development goals of the University of Koblenz-Landau to improve teaching and optimize the framework conditions for students.

The funds from the program budgets of the state for the implementation of the 3rd phase of the Higher Education Pact in Rhineland-Palatinate enabled the university to target its own strategic starting points with additional resources.

Selected projects contributed to the implementation of the university's goal of providing students with a quality-assured education, supporting them in the best possible way right from the start, and opening up a successful study process for them. This was a particular challenge in view of the high level of student participation and a student body that is tending to become more heterogeneous against the backdrop of a society that continues to diversify.

The permeability of academic and vocational courses of education to improve the framework conditions for young people was another goal of the state and the university in the 3rd phase of the Higher Education Pact. In view of demographic developments, permeability is also an important instrument for securing a skilled workforce.

The university also aims to strengthen women in science in areas where they are still underrepresented. Even though the university is on the right track in this respect, it feels responsible for establishing further management instruments and programs to promote young scientists. For this reason, it expanded in particular measures that promote the careers of young female scientists in the areas of doctoral studies and postdocs.

By the end of 2020, the following projects from three program lines were implemented in Landau.

• SpraKult - dealing with heterogeneity in schools and teaching with a focus on linguistic-cultural diversity.
• Extension of teaching evaluation to other levels and professionalization
• University Didactics Office (HDA) [Hochschuldidaktische Arbeitsstelle]
• Study program monitoring
• Study program review
• TAKE.IN-Integrating and expanding talents & knowledge
• Graduate School "The Challenge of Life
• Interdisciplinary Research Group Environment
• NeuStArt - A new start in studies or working life
• OSA - Online Self-Assessment to identify post-qualification needs and develop complementary e-learning offers
