Become a guest auditor
As a guest auditor, you can attend courses without being enrolled in a study programme. You can get a taste of studying at the University of Konstanz even before you pass your level C1 language exam. Your language skills should be at least at a solid B1 level so you can understand the classes, but that is not a specific requirement to take part. Guest auditors cannot complete performance assessments.
Here you can find more information on the guest auditor programme.
In order to take part, you will need to:
- fill out and submit the application form
- in some cases, get approval from the respective department or teacher (see application form)
- pay the required € 50
We will be glad to assist you with arranging the details – just make an appointment with Ms Andrea Beeken.
Library
You are eligible for a free library card. The library is a fantastic place to sit and study, but it is very busy in February/March and July/August. Simply go to the service counter in the library’s entrance area in the B building and remember to bring your ID.
