Guest Auditors

Those who are not registered as students at any university in Berlin or the Federal Republic of Germany can become guest auditors. Berlin University of the Arts offers interested individuals an opportunity, within four weeks of the start of the teaching period (exact deadline can be found in the course guide), to register for individual offers of teaching as a guest auditor. All offers of teaching are open to guests, insofar as the lecturer is in agreement and there are free places. There are some restrictions, however. Guest auditors are not entitled to individual tuition (instrumental, vocal or scenic lessons) or studio classes and workshops. In addition, no examinations can be taken.  The course guide which appears at the start of every semester contains the full range of teaching courses on offer. The fee for guest auditors is 15 euros per semester for each hour per week attended during a semester.  Example: If you want to take a course that always takes place on Mondays from 12.00-14.00, you have to pay 30,-€ once for the participation in the whole semester, for a higher number of hours per week accordingly more.
Please find the information sheet (german only) here.
