How to become a guest student at the University of Stuttgart
The “Studium Generale” (www.uni-stuttgart.de/sg) offers, to anyone who is interested, a
broad selection of seminars and lectures appropriate for a larger audience; for example,
guest students, students studying outside their subject area, or university staff.
On the one hand, the courses belong to the regular curricula offered by the ten faculties of
the University of Stuttgart, especially including introductory lectures, seminars and tutorials,
and language courses offered by the language center (if there are open spots). On the other
hand, the Studium Generale also conceptualizes, organizes, and conducts their own lecture
series, seminars, and workshops.
No specific previous knowledge is needed to attend any of these courses. However, most of
them are held in German, and thus a basic knowledge of the language required.
You can find the up-to-date program (in German) here:
http://www.uni-stuttgart.de/sg/angebote/programmheft/index.html
Guest students can choose courses adding up to 10 weekly lecture hours per semester
(which equals 5 two-hour courses) which they can attend for a full semester. Curricular
activities not listed in the Studium Generale’s program can be attended if the respective
lecturer agrees to the guest student’s request.
To attend the language courses at the language center, you can enroll separately.
