The student employment contract
Student Work Permit
A student work permit in general will allow you to work for a maximum of 90 full-time days per year or 180 half-time days per year. These
are working days and not calendar days. You also need to bear in mind
that you are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week during the
semester. You are allowed to work up to 40 hours a week during vacation time,
i.e. between semesters. One exception for this rule, which was
introduced on January 2006, is that if the work that you do is highly related
to your studies and it takes place at your university or institute then you can
do it for an unlimited time.
For more detailed information, please contact the German embassy in your
