What forms of study are there?

Full-time

study Full-time study means that your studies are your main activity. As a full-time student at FHD, you attend classes four days a week and can, of course, take on a part-time job (e.g. 10-20 hours per week) if you wish.
Part-time study

With part-time study, it is exactly the opposite: you mainly pursue your career (e.g. 30 hours per week) and study on the side (e.g. Friday evenings and Saturdays). The programme is organised in such a way that it can be optimally combined with your professional and family life. This type of programme is particularly suitable for those who are already in the middle of their professional life but would like to develop further. You keep your job and your secure income and gain further qualifications on the side.

Study, but practically! How can you combine studying and working?

Would you like to study and work at the same time, but are unsure which type of study programme is right for you? At
FHD, we do not offer dual study programmes, but instead give you more freedom to tailor your studies to your job. This means you can either combine full-time study with a part-time job or study alongside your career. So

what are the differences between a dual study programme at other universities and full-time or part-time study at FHD? We have summarised the most important differences for you:

You are contractually bound to a company for the entire duration of your studies. You gain your practical experience only there, and changing your practical partner (or even your degree programme) is often impossible or very difficult. In most cases, you have good chances of being hired. However, your employment contract may bind you to the company for several years after graduation.

FULL-TIME STUDIES or PART-TIME STUDIES at the FHD

Here, you are in control: you decide where, when and how much you work. You can either study alongside your job (part-time) or work flexibly alongside your studies (full-time). You earn your own money, which you can use to cover your
tuition fees. How much you earn depends, of course, on your choice of part-time job and your working hours.

You can change your (part-time) job at any time, try out different things and gain insights into various areas of practice. This will help you find out which career path you want to take later on. Your CV will be filled with valuable experience during your studies, which will be well received by employers. This means that all doors will be open to you after you graduate.
