Can I work part-time while studying in Germany, and what are the work hour limits?

Yes, you can work part-time while studying in Germany, but there are specific limits.

- Up to 140 full days or 280 half days/year (a full day is more than 4 hours; a half day is up to 4 hours).
- During lecture periods: Maximum 20 hours/week to avoid affecting your studies.

Student assistant roles at your university may be exempt from these limits, but you should always inform the local immigration office.

Exceeding these limits without approval can risk your residence permit. If you have questions about your specific situation, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
