Yes, absolutely! In many fields of study, a semester abroad or a project semester is already firmly planned into the course of studies! We've put together a list of all the partner host schools around the world for you HERE , just pick one and off you go!
Because Trier is absolutely great! Not only is it the oldest city in Germany, but it is also close to the borders with Luxembourg, France and Belgium. The degree programme is practice-oriented and the atmosphere is very family-like; you're not just a student number here.
You don't need to fulfil an N.C. to study at Campus Gestaltung - talent, motivation and a lot of commitment are enough!
You need either a university entrance qualification (Abitur) or a vocational baccalaureate. You don't have a university entrance qualification, but you have talent? In individual cases, aptitude can be determined in a separate aptitude test. Please contact the secretariat of your desired degree programme.
The Studentenwerk Trier runs a canteen at the Irminenfreihof. Here you can get two dishes every day at lunchtime for a reasonable student price, one of which is always vegetarian.
Outside of opening hours, there are fortunately snack and drink vending machines in the buildings Q and S.
If that's not enough either, Trier city centre is also only a stone's throw away.
Enjoy your meal!
Yes, you can get a parking permit from the caretaker - or just come by bicycle :D
