Applicants and students on a full-time bachelor or master programme at the University may request to switch to part-time student status when applying for a study programme or before re-enrolling in the programme. For part-time students, the workload and annual ECTS credits is reduced by half and the maximum permitted duration of study is extended.
As far as permitted by the study plan, part-time students may choose the order in which they complete courses in their study programme. Certain restrictions may apply. Before requesting part-time student status, we recommend that you consult your Study Programme Director or Study Programme Administrator to discuss the available options and consequences.
- If you are a third-country national and your residence permit is dependent on your student status, you are not eligible for part-time student status.
- Part-time status does not exempt you from the mandatory mobility period.
- As a part-time student, you are required to enrol in courses corresponding to at least 30 ECTS credits per year of study, and you cannot enrol in courses corresponding to more than 40 ECTS credits per year of study.
- In accordance with Article 16, paragraph 3, of the Study Regulations of 24 September 2024, the student status declared at the time of enrolment remains valid throughout the relevant semester.
- Part-time students are not eligible for university housing.
For more information about the impact of part-time status on progression and the maximum duration of study, please contact your Study Programme Administrator.
How to apply
Anyone applying for a study program may request part-time student status when submitting their online application through the admissions portal. The part-time request form must be added to the application file. Students already enrolled at the University may change their status before re-enrolling for the upcoming semester by submitting the request to the program director.
Important: Any change in student status must be made before tuition fees are paid and enrollment for the upcoming semester is validated. Tuition fees should only be paid once SEVE has processed the request. It is therefore essential to complete this procedure in advance to avoid any delay in re-enrollment.
