Part-time studies

If certain requirements are met, students can be approved for part-time studies according to § 9 of the THMenrollment statutes.

The application is made directly through the E-campus via the menu Service + events - Requests - Other requests. If you no longer have access to the E-Campus, please contact the InfoCenter.

Reasons for part-time studies:

  1. Employment:
    Employment subject to social security contributions with at least 14 and a maximum of 28 hours of regular weekly working hours as a rule,
  2. Education:
    Bringing up a child within the meaning of § 25 Para. 5 BAföG up to the age of ten years
  3. Care:
    Proven care of close relatives with assignment to a care level according to § 15 Abs. 1 SGB XI
  4. Disability or chronic illness with the effect of prolonging the study period
