During the study

[toggle title=”Can I study part-time?”]
Yes, you can also study part-time. In this case, you are expected to do about 15 Credit Points instead of 30 Credit Points per semester.
[/toggle]

[toggle title=”How intense is the programme?”]

Our students are flexible in selecting the number of courses each semester and self-responsible in balancing the workload if they have a student job or perform extra-curricular activities. If you select 30 ECTS credit points per semester, you can assume that the studies are a full-time activity. We have many design and hands-on projects which consume a lot of time.
[/toggle]

[toggle title=”Do I have to do a work placement during my studies?”]
Work placement is not a mandatory part of the MSE curriculum. Nevertheless, we highly recommend our students to complete one.

[/toggle]

[toggle title=”Am I allowed to work in Germany?”]

  • If you come from the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, you are entitled to work as many hours as you want, without needing a special permit. However, if you want to work more than 20 hours per week, you will have to pay national insurance contributions (just like German students).

    • [separator top=”10″]

  • If you come from a different country, are allowed to work 120 full days or 240 half days per year. You are not allowed to undertake self-employment. Anyone wanting to work more than this must seek permission from the Agentur für Arbeit (local employment agency) and the Ausländerbehörde (foreigners’ registration office).

    [separator top=”10″]

    The 120-day rule does not apply to student assistants. There are no restrictions on these jobs at the university.
