Guest Student Programme

It is possible to enrol at our university as a guest student. As a rule, it is only possible for guest students to attend lectures, e.g. in the field of musicology.

In particularly justified exceptional cases, interested students can also enrol for other types of courses (e.g. seminars). Enrolment for courses that take place as one-to-one lessons and courses in the field of chamber music is also only possible in individual cases.

    It is only possible to take examinations as part of a Guest Student Programme for students from other universities who are enrolled as guest students on the basis of a legal regulation or an agreement between the universities to study parts of their degree course offered at the University of Music and Theatre Munich.

    In addition, the taking of examinations is possible for guest students who have fled from Ukraine due to the war in accordance with Art. 129 BayHIG (Bayerisches Hochschulinnovationsgesetz: Bavarian university innovations’ regulations).

  • What does it cost to study as a guest student?
