Part-time studies can combine work and university, for example.

To do this, students have to be flexible.

Whether for professional or private reasons: Anyone who does not want to study full-time * can

attend official part-time courses

at many state universities and colleges

or study part-time on request.

This is explained by Sabine Felkel from the Central Student Advisory Service at Heidelberg University on the “abi.de” portal of the Federal Employment Agency.

The study time is usually stretched for part-time students in this model; fewer courses are attended per semester than full-time students.

Basically, however, these are the same courses

as for full-time students, it says in the article.

Part-time study requires a lot of flexibility

According to the student advisor, this model is particularly suitable if you can organize everyday life in a relatively flexible manner - and, for example, have

time for

lectures

in the mornings or afternoons

.

So if you are too involved in your work during the day,

a part-time course may be better suited

.

Here the events usually take place in the evening, on the weekend or in blocks.

Distance learning can be customized

Distance learning

can usually be even more independent

shape.

The time and duration of the studies can be individually adapted to the respective living conditions - professional or family obligations, for example, explains Felkel.

In some cases, distance learning courses can also be completed completely online and from any location.

Important: Those who study part-time are

not entitled to

student

loans

.

Part-time study can also have an impact on health insurance and child benefit.
