Part-time study at HAW Hamburg

When you study part-time at HAW Hamburg, the normal course of study is extended over a longer period of time on an individual basis. There is not a separate programme with its own curriculum. It is possible for students to reduce their study load by up to half per semester.

In accordance with section 3 of the HAW Hamburg enrolment regulations, students who have a valid reason for not being able to complete full-time studies but are able to complete at least 50 per cent of the course load can apply to be enrolled as part-time students.

For individual part-time study, the examination and study regulations specific to the particular full-time degree course apply. Two part-time semesters are equivalent to one subject semester and two university semesters. The contact people for individual study planning are the advisors for the degree courses.

Applications for degree courses that are not suited to part-time study cannot be approved.

If you do not submit a new application, your status will automatically be restored to full-time following two semesters. It is possible to study part-time for two semesters, then full-time, and then to switch to part-time studies again. Part-time status must be applied for each time.
