Teilzeitstudium beantragen

Would you like to combine your studies and your career? Find out here about the possibility of part-time study.

Part-time study provides financial and time relief. In the case of part-time studies, you complete the same modules as full-time students. But you have more time for this. You only have to complete half of the achievements or take modules per semester. This extends your standard period of study.

You can only start part-time study if you have an important reason to do so.

An important reason exists if you

• are employed
  • Your working hours should be adapted to your studies, as you will complete your studies during the day and during the week
• are chronically ill or have a disability
• Caring for family members
• Looking after children

Which courses of study are suitable for part-time study is decided by the respective university. At some universities, you cannot study part-time right from the start.

• Application for part-time study

In addition, you must also submit documents for enrollment:

• Proof of a university entrance qualification (e.B. Abitur)
• If applicable, proof of the further requirements of the degree programme
• Application or a completed form for admission to the university

• General requirements for studying
• There must be an important reason

You have to pay semester fees for a course of study.

In addition, tuition fees may also apply, e.B. in the case of a senior studies or second degree.

If you decide to study part-time, you must first apply to the university for a course of study.

Find out online or at the university concerned whether your desired course of study is also suitable for part-time study.

If you are not yet enrolled, submit all documents and proofs that are important for enrollment in addition to your application. You can find out whether you can study part-time right from the start at the university.

If you are already enrolled, you can apply for part-time study before each semester. Send the completed application for part-time work to the university within a certain period of time.

At some universities, you must attend a subject advisory service before and at some after the application.

You will receive the decision of your application in writing from the university.

You must submit the application in good time before the beginning of the semester.

Part-time study is particularly suitable for students who want to combine family or career with a course of study. Part-time study extends the standard period of study, as there are fewer achievements to be achieved in one semester. Part-time study is only possible if there is an important reason.

Please contact the university.

You can usually find the application for part-time study online on the university's website.
