German term
tara
Gasthörer
German to English
Social Sciences
Education / Pedagogy
As you will know, this term describes (usually older) people who attend university lectures to listen but do not do the exams or acquire student status.
Suggestions I have found on the Internet include 'guest listeners', 'continuing education students', 'observers', 'auditors' and 'guest students' but none of these seem to fit the bill 100%.
Isn't there some Latin term used in English for this (similar to the use of ab initio and ad hoc for example)....?
Thank you for any suggestion you may have!

I have heard the term 'guest students' used a lot but I'm not sure if there is a 'proper' term for this

FREEDIC.NET suggests the following:
der Gasthörer auditor (American)
extramural student
guest student
I guess it depends on whether you want US or UK English
