As a rule, no previous education is required for study at the Goetheanum, apart from a good knowledge of the course language. The number of participants is limited in order to ensure a seminar-style study and individual support for students. Admission to the study programme takes place after a written application and, if necessary, an admission interview.

The Goetheanum has a student residence comprising 6 shared apartments and 36 furnished single rooms. The rooms are equipped with a single bed, wardrobe, shelf, desk with chair and lamp, armchair and a washbasin. Each shared apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, offers each student a locker to store their own food and a shared bathroom.

We have compiled a selection of accommodation options on the Goetheanum website. These range from simple guest rooms to hotels. You will also find youth hostels and other shared options.
