Part-time study programs

If you cannot or do not want to study full-time, you have the option of applying for part-time study.

All regulations for part-time study are based on the "Regulations for Part-time Study (TzO)" of Clausthal University of Technology.

Currently, only the degree programs listed below are suitable for part-time study.

Students who fulfill one or more of the following reasons are allowed to study part-time (see § 3 para. 3 TzO):

• Looking after a child or caring for relatives
• Own disability or serious chronic illness
• Outstanding civic or social commitment (e.g. top-class sport)
• Participation in student or academic self-administration committees
• Own gainful employment of at least 15 h/week

Applications for part-time study must be submitted for two consecutive semesters.

• Applications must be submitted before the start of re-registration for the coming semester
• Exception: first semester students and students changing universities can submit the application by 15.10. or 15.04. at the latest

In part-time studies, a maximum of 33 CP can be completed in two semesters. See TzO

If you come from a country outside the EU, you are generally not allowed to study part-time for reasons of residence law. It is therefore imperative that you contact the Foreigners' Registration Office in Goslar before submitting your application.

If you are a Non-EU national, you usually may not study part-time due to regulations of the residence law. It is therefore imperative to make an appointment with the Foreigners' Registration Office in Goslar before submitting your application.
