What exactly is a Part-time study and which advantages do I have?
A study in full time is pretty difficult to manage if you have to work next to your study or you have to look after children. Some study programs do offer the possibility of studying part-time. In a part time study, you provide a fixed or maximal number of credit points, which usually corresponds to about 15-20 Credit points.
If you earn credit points beyond this, the admission to part-time studies expires retroactively. If you study part-time, you will not be credited with a full semester of study. As a rule, one semester in part time corresponds to half a subject semester; depending on the examination regulations and the credit points to be achieved per semester, the counting may differ slightly.
For information on whether part-time study is possible in your degree program and the exact regulations, please refer to Part B of your examination regulations (link to the parent page of the orders) or ask your administrator.
How do I apply for a part-time study?
A part-time study is usually possible via a motion at the examination board. A part-time-study is only valid for the requested semesters and will not extend automatically. A new application can be submitted after the relevant semesters have passed by.
As a student of an online program in Wilhelmshaven, please contact the online team at onlinestudium@jade-hs.de to apply.
