If you have paid the fees and find out later that your course was part of your curriculum, you can apply for a refund.
Fill in this form.
Provide the bank statement as proof of your payment your transcript of records with the course mark.
The fees are only refundable after a successful completion of the course (exam).
Fees are principally not refundable. However, you may attend a different course the fees of which will then be set against your previous payment. In order to avoid these problems we strongly recommend taking our assessment tests.
The lecturer must admit the members of staff and guest students to the course every semester. To be admitted, you must submit the Guest Student Application Form to us. You must then submit the application form together with the enrolment documents to the Students' Registration Office (in person or by post). The end of the enrolment period for the winter semester is 31 October and 30 April for summer semester.
The fee for participation in language courses is based on a calculation of the overall costs. You will receive a corresponding invoice from us at the beginning of the semester. Depending on the number of hours of tuition and the lecturer, the costs range from € 73 to € 235 per semester.
An exception is made for general English courses and technical English courses, which have generally been free of charge for members of staff since winter semester 2014/15 as a measure to foster the internationalisation of the University.
Guest students are not allowed to take university exams including UNIcert®. However, they can receive a record of their achievement.
