Berufsbegleitendes Studium

Part-Time & On-Campus

Monthly weekends October 2022 - June 2023

This part-time course is designed for those who want to study alongside other daily commitments, such as work or family. The students and faculty come together at the Goetheanum once a month for a whole weekend to concentrate on a specific theme related to anthroposophy. This course is offered only in German.

Student Life On Campus

An international group of people comes together every year at the Goetheanum for the full-time Anthroposophy Study program. Studying in this intercontinental community is a unique experience that allows one to expand perspectives, enhance the ability to think creatively and gain new insights. The contacts made here form a long-lasting worldwide network!

Leadership Course

As a society, as organizations and as individuals we find ourselves confronted with unprecedented challenges. The Goetheanum Leadership Courses are based on the assumption that these challenges require a new form of leadership, one that allows us individually and as members of a leadership team to step into new terrain and to find and implement a transformative vision. The courses – the ‘Intensive Week Course’ and the ‘Two Module Course’ – aim to provide an exploration of practices based on Anthroposophy

Adult Education Program

Anthroposophy and anthroposophic initiatives, now in the second century after their inauguration, find themselves in a changed world. What they can contribute to meeting the challenges of this world has become more relevant and accessible. At the same time the awareness of contexts and the longing for personalized learning paths and authentic learning experiences calls for new approaches in anthroposophic adult education.

Alumni

Every former student from the Goetheanum Studium is already part of our international Alumni community. To build a worldwide network and keep the connections alive, the Alumni team promotes periodic events to continue the study of anthroposophical content and catch up with former classmates.
