Prospective students and current students from Ukraine

We offer three options for prospective students and current students from Ukraine who are not enrolled at one of our partner universities:

1. If you have already studied at least two semesters you can complete an orientation semester in Konstanz

During the orientation semester, you attend courses you select with the assistance of our Student Advisory Service. We recommend taking German language courses along with subject-specific academic courses. Once you are enrolled in the orientation semester, you can complete exams and earn ECTS credits for your work. You can take part in up to two orientation semesters. At the end, you will get a printout of your grades and subjects completed that you can use when applying for a study programme in Germany or abroad. The application period has been extended for the summer semester for prospective students who have fled Ukraine.

If you do not already have housing and funding, we can assist you with finding accommodation and applying for financial support.

2. Intensive language course in German

All bachelor's programmes at the University of Konstanz require German language proficiency for admission. The University of Konstanz offers preparatory language courses for prospective students who have fled their country. Register online with the "Study as a refugee" team. You can combine the language courses with either an orientation semester or the guest auditor programme.

3. Guest auditor programme

As a guest auditor, you can attend lectures without taking the corresponding exams. There are no formal requirements for the programme, however we recommend having language proficiency of at least level B1+ in the respective language of instruction. The guest auditor programme can be combined with an intensive language course in German.
