    How much you may work as a student

    Your student residence permit allows work of up to 140 full working days per year. Jobs as a student assistant at your university (studentische Nebentätigkeit) don't count towards this limit.

    • Part-time work is counted in whichever of two ways is better for you, decided separately for each calendar week:
    • Method 1 (by day): a day with up to 4 hours of work counts as half a working day, a longer day as a full working day.
    • Method 2 (by week): a calendar week counts as 2.5 working days — during the lecture period only if you work up to 20 hours that week; outside the lecture period regardless of how the hours are spread.
    • Breaking the limit can put your residence permit at risk. Use our work-days tracker.

    • Many listings on this board are written in German and ask for German skills — read each listing's requirements before applying.
    • Never pay money to get a job. Real employers don't charge application or "training" fees.
