Your part-time studies at HdWM

Have your part-time studies individually tailored to your needs

Part-time studies are the solution if full-time studies do not fit into your current life situation. If you have children, care for relatives, or want to combine your studies with a career or a sports career, part-time studies give you the freedom you need to balance your studies and your personal life. We will put together an individual timetable with fewer classes for you in the part-time program at HdWM. The number of classes per semester is reduced, which means that your part-time studies will be extended by approximately two semesters. However, you won't pay a cent more. Your tuition fees are calculated based on the number of courses you attend, not on the number of semesters you need to complete your degree.

Study part-time and adapt your studies to your life. Don't adapt your life to your studies!

Part-time studies at HdWM and other free time: Combine your studies with your personal commitments

Individual part-time study	If you study part-time at HdWM, we will put together an individual study plan for you. Your study period will be extended individually, but you will not pay a cent more than the standard period of study.
Free days in the curriculum	All master's programs take place on only 2.5 study days per week, allowing you to balance your studies and your private life. The bachelor's programs are also held on only 3-4 days per week, leaving room for private commitments.
Free time during semester breaks	Between semesters, there are 8 to 10 weeks of free time that can be used for personal matters. This applies to both full-time and part-time studies.
Costs	€350-690 per month – part-time studies at no extra cost: You only pay the regular tuition fees, which are based on the ECTS credits to be achieved and not on the duration of your studies. Credits already earned can be transferred to your HdWM studies. This reduces the duration of your studies and also your tuition fees.

Our part-time studies: Made for people like you

How can I balance family and studies?

Whether you are responsible for your children or for caring for relatives, these obligations are often difficult to reconcile with full-time study. Study part-time and create the freedom you need for your personal situation! In individual part-time study, we will put together a study plan tailored to your situation with a reduced number of courses. This gives you the relief you need to take care of your loved ones.

Although the duration of your studies will be extended, you only pay tuition fees for the courses you attend, not for the length of your studies. This means you will not pay more than you would for a degree program within the standard period of study.

How can I manage to study alongside my job?

If your current job is the reason you want to study part-time, we offer a range of options for studying and continuing your education while working. This can be a good decision, especially for self-employed people or those who do not want to give up their current job.

You can combine work and study in individual part-time programs, thanks to the flexibility already built into the program or the practical phases that are firmly anchored in the curriculum.
