There you can register for the courses you have chosen from our guest auditor directory. After your registration has been checked, you will receive a request for payment by e-mail. After successful receipt of payment, you will receive your guest auditor's certificate by mail.

In addition, you will receive the access data for your Leuphana account and Leuphana mail account by e-mail/SMS. If you were already a guest student in the previous semester, you can use your existing Leuphana account from the previous semester.
