Selection of the part-time curriculum
If several part-time study plans are offered in one degree programme, you are free to choose between them. In both versions, as many CP as you wish, can be acquired in the semester. The part-time study plan does not set any minimum or maximum requirements. Also the doubling of the deadline for the thesis is independent of the chosen study plan.
We recommend:
Choose the study plan with 20 CP per semester if you want to primarily be considered a student and thus
- can remain covered by student health insurance and
- can work as a student trainee.
Choose the study plan with 15 CP per semester if you are employed and want to have the right to unemployment benefit if you become unemployed.
The part-time status is stored in TUCaN, but this is not stated on the certificate of study. A certificate regarding part-time status is issued upon approval.

Approval is always subject to matriculation. Therefore, if the degree programme is closed, no changes will be made to the deadlines for part-time students.
If you change your degree programme, transfer from a Bachelor's to a Master's programme or are briefly de-registered, you must re-submit an application for part-time studies and provide reasons for doing so. The part-time status is not automatically updated.
If the reasons for your part-time studies no longer apply, you must inform the Service point part-time studies, studying with children immediately. You will then be transferred to full-time status at the end of the current semester.
