First-year students can submit the following written application for part-time study until enrolment for two consecutive semesters. You can send the completed application by email to immatrikulation​(at)​ostfalia.de (opens your email program).

A maximum of 50% of the coursework and examinations of the corresponding full-time degree programme can be completed. Repeats of registered and failed examinations from a previous semester are not recognised.

Switching to part-time study can have serious consequences for certain benefits and entitlements, for example: BAföG, scholarships, child benefit, health insurance, residence permits for foreign students (immigration authorities), etc. Please clarify the possible consequences for you personally directly with the relevant office before submitting your application.
