Balancing work and studies can be a challenging yet rewarding experience for many students. Working alongside your studies can provide valuable practical experience, financial independence, and the opportunity to develop essential skills. Most of our students work alongside their studies.
Since 2024, all students (regardless their nationality) are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week during the lecture period. This limit expires during the semester break. In total, international students are allowed to work 140 full days or 280 half days (measured based on your employer’s general working hours) per year.
There are different types of employment. Have a look at https://www.hs-fresenius.com/international/working-in-germany/ for a brief overview.
