Part-time studies take your individual circumstances into account and help you to succeed in your studies.

Your advantages are:

• Less semester workload
  According to your part-time study and examination plan, you have to earn fewer credit points per semester. However, you can also take more credits at any time.
• More time
  You can continue to fulfill your other obligations.
• Less stress
  Deadlines are extended. This means you have more time to complete the minimum requirements and the deadline for submitting your thesis is doubled (with the exception of Architecture).
• Greater satisfaction
  You can complete your studies within the standard period of study. After two part-time semesters, the semester counter stops for one semester.
• Greater planning security
  You can be sure that your part-time studies will work if you stick to the study and examination schedule.
• Better reference
  On request, we can also certify your part-time studies with your part-time reason.
• Germany Scholarship
  You have more time to apply for the Deutschlandstipendium.
• Social benefits
  If the other requirements are met, it is possible to receive unemployment benefit and citizen's allowance.

The Technical University of Darmstadt is a presence university and studying is our focus. That means:

There are no separate courses for part-time students. You attend the same courses as full-time students, and you should visit the courses as well. Although many courses are supported by online offers (live streams, exercises, materials, scripts etc) or are offered as e-learning courses, these are only intended as a supplement to the courses to increase your flexibility. In case you are unable to attend, you can rework an event in this way. With the right planning you can often reduce your attendance at the university to 2-3 days. But you should be there. If this is not possible for you, a successful graduation is rarely possible.

Therefore: Your studies should be your focus as well!
