Study in Part-Time or
Parallel to Your Career

Tailor your studies to your needs: with a part-time degree programme, 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 programme — so you will not pay more than you would for a degree programme 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 it. Part-time study is also ideal for balancing family life, caring for relatives, or pursuing a sports career alongside your studies.

Master's programmes 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. You can also work alongside your studies in the bachelor's programme.

The core idea behind our degree programmes 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 programme includes days kept free for you to use as you wish — from one to three days, depending on the semester and programme. 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 programme in bakery management.

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 opens up new career opportunities, such as opening your own bakery or taking over a business.
