Will part-time work count as work experience for my profile in Germany?

Yes, part-time work can count as work experience for your profile, especially if it's related to your field of study.
In Germany, international students are allowed to work up to 140 full days or 280 half days per year (subject to change). Relevant part-time roles, such as student assistant positions, can strengthen your resume and provide practical exposure.
Be sure your work stays within the permitted limits, as exceeding them can impact your student status and residence permit. If you have questions about balancing work and study, contact your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance.
