Stay curious and study as a guest student

The information session is aimed at anyone interested in furthering their education, as well as BTU staff or committed individuals who would like to contribute their own topics and talks. You will be given an overview of the current programme for the winter semester, including talks from the SeniorenAkademie, workshops, excursions and language courses. In addition, any questions regarding participation in the programme will be answered.

‘KNOWLEDGE FOR ALL’ is an open educational initiative fostering dialogue between the university and society. The programme offers insights into current research, regional developments and cultural topics. The diverse range of exchange formats creates opportunities for citizen science and civic engagement in science and the local region.
