Supplementing the household budget with part-time jobs

Around two thirds of all students work alongside their studies to finance their Bachelor's or Master's degree or to supplement their household budget. Jobs can be found in various forms - but above all in mini-jobs or in employment as a working student. A part-time job offers more than just financial advantages. With a job alongside your studies, you can also gain initial practical experience for your future career. It makes the most sense if the part-time job has something to do with your studies, but this is not a must.

If you want to work while you study, you have to observe some general conditions: The Association of Student Services in Germany (DSW) has compiled a helpful overview.
