Is it possible to do a one or two-year course with part-time study and work to cover expenses in Germany for a Master's?
Yes, you can pursue a one- or two-year master's program in Germany and work part-time to help cover your expenses.
As an international student, you are allowed to work up to 20 hours/week during the semester and up to 40 hours/week during semester breaks. The typical limit is 140 full days or 280 half-days of work per year. A "Werkstudent" (student job in your field) can offer better pay and relevant experience.
Be careful not to exceed the permitted work hours, as this can affect your student status and visa conditions (subject to change).
If you need guidance on balancing study and work, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
