Part-time study programs

Part-time study

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

The basis for all regulations on part-time study is the "Regulations governing 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

Special regulations for international applicants

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.
