Schnupperstudium – explore a field of study!
The Schnupperstudium (studying while in school), i.e. attending lectures for a maximum of 3 weeks without taking exams, is a short but intensive way of getting to know a field of study. You can find lecture dates in the course catalogue (ZEuS). There is no need to register. At the Department of Psychology, courses with a limited number of places (seminars, internships,...) are excluded from the Schnupperstudium. We recommend that you pick courses from the early semesters, as the contents in advanced semesters require knowledge from previous courses. Take a look at our exemplary study plan for the bachelor's programme for an orientation on which courses might suit you.
