Study Programme for Guest Students
Study Programme for Guest Students
JLU offers a wide range of subjects and classes to the general public. A study programme for guest students gives you the opportunity to attend a selection of classes. Most classes are of an introductory nature, requiring little background knowledge. At the same time, there are advanced classes not explicitly listed in the schedule which may be made available to guest students if the instructor grants permission. You are welcome to consult the full details of the complete schedule of courses prior to the beginning of a semester in the official online course catalogue:
https://studip.uni-giessen.de/studip/evv/extern.php
Please note there is currently no printed guest student catalogue available. However, you can find information online in the JLU electronic course catalogue and register as a guest student (registration form) at any time. You can find the courses here. Information on the procedure can also be found in the guest student catalogue from winter semester.
