Even if the term is already well underway, there is still plenty of time to join courses. Every day is an enrollment day. It is possible to start a new hobby exactly when it suits you best.

New students are often welcome even if the course has already started. In addition, new courses begin throughout the year. A hobby can be a long-term passion or a quick trial – the most important thing is to find your own way of learning and enjoying yourself.

It’s worth keeping an eye on the course offering regularly. Up-to-date information on new courses can be found on the website.

Act Quickly
It's a good idea to sign up for interesting courses as soon as they become available. If you wait too long, the course may unfortunately be canceled if there aren't enough registrations. If the course you've chosen is already full, make sure to join the waiting list. There’s always a chance to get a spot if someone cancels. Additionally, new courses may be created if we see high demand for certain classes.
How to Search for Courses

• Select the 'Search' option from the top menu.
