Students needing an additional semester for 30 credits due to their 180 credit bachelor's degree will have to study at least 4 semesters full-time. This additional semester will usually be the first semester of your studies at FH Wedel, which means that you will have to pay the full fee, even though it is an "additional" semester. As compensation, for your third actual master's semester (your fourth semester in total) you will have to pay only the reduced fee.

You may apply to study part-time for important reasons, such as a part-time job or child care. Proof of the stated reason needs to be attached to the part-time application form. Part-time study is granted for one year, and you may reapply every year. Part-time students pay half of the usual semester fee. Please be aware that as a part-time student you may only fulfill 35 credits per year. Should you fulfill more than 35 credits in one year, your part-time status will be revoked and you will have to pay the full-time fees.
