Part-time study
Part-time studies can be requested in the Self-Services portal within the respective enrollment or re-registration deadline, no later than at the start of the semester (April 1st or October 1st). Your semester fees and contributions remain unchanged during part-time studies.
A semester studied on a part-time basis will be counted as half of a subject semester (Fachsemester) and a full university semester (Hochschulsemester).
You can utilize the teaching and support resources as a part-time student, however, there will be no entitlement to a distinctive part-time study curriculum. Please contact the appropriate academic advisory team within your department to arrange the schedule for your part-time study.
To apply for part-time studies, simply submit the application within the specified deadline through the Self-Service portal of the Student Records and Registration Office.
Part-time study applies for the duration of your studies. If you wish to switch back to full-time studies at a later date, please submit a request for full-time studies through the Self-Service within the deadlines mentioned above.
Changing to a part-time study status could significantly effect benefits you may receive from bodies not affiliated with the university, such as but not limited to BAföG student aid, child benefits (Kindergeld), health insurance, residential entitlements, tax matters, residence permit. Please clarify in advance how part-time study may affect your benefits.
PhD/ Doctoral degree candidates are kindly requested to upload the mandatory approval issued by the respective doctoral committee in the Self-Service portal. Please contact the relevant doctoral office in your department.
