Tailor your studies to your needs: With a part-time degree program, you can study individually while working. We will put together a personalized study plan for you with fewer courses. This will extend the duration of your studies, but you will only pay tuition fees for the courses you attend, not for the length of the program. This means you will not pay more than you would for a degree program completed within the standard period of study.

Part-time studies leave you enough time for your professional activities. This option is particularly suitable if you have been working for a long time, as it allows you to secure your job and continue your education without having to change or leave your job.

Part-time study is also ideal for balancing family life, caring for relatives, or pursuing a sports career, for example, with your studies.

Master's programs in particular can be easily combined with (part-time) employment. Classes are concentrated into 2.5 days per week, so you don't have to leave your job to study.

But you can also work alongside your studies in the bachelor's program

The core idea behind our degree program is to prepare you specifically for your career start. That is why we have integrated practical elements into the curriculum from the very first semester. In addition to practical elements such as the internship semester, case studies, or the final thesis in a company, HdWM gives you enough freedom to gain further practical experience on a voluntary basis. Each degree program includes days that are kept free for you to use as you wish – from one to even three days, depending on the semester and degree program. The lecture-free period between semesters can also be used for full-time work, for example as a working student. Our Career Network @ HdWM brings you together with our HdWM network partners during your studies, making it easier for you to start your career.

We have a very special offer for skilled workers in the baking trade that is unique in Germany: a part-time degree program in bakery management. This specialization of the B.A. Business Management degree was developed specifically for full-time professionals and prepares you for management positions in the bakery industry. Class times are tailored to the needs of the industry, allowing you to study and work optimally. Through evening and weekend classes, you will earn an academic qualification that will open up new career opportunities, such as opening your own bakery or taking over a business.

Nothing could be easier than applying for a part-time degree program at HdWM.
