Many students finance their studies with a part-time job. If you intend to take up a job, please make sure to observe the legal regulations and to not neglect your studies.
Whether and to what extent international students are allowed to work in Germany depends on their residence status.
International students from the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland have free access to the German labour market and are practically equal to German students.
Those who have a residence title for study purposes are generally allowed to work 140 full days or 280 half days per year in Germany. Work as a student/research assistant and compulsory internships are not counted towards this limit.
Self-employed and freelance work are only permitted in individual cases and after consultation with the immigration authority.
Please find job advertisements for students on HSBI’s job portal or on the noticeboards in the university’s main hallway (Magistrale).
