Studying full-time or part-time?

Degree programmes tailored to students’ needs

We take into account the individual situation of our students in the content, structure and processes of our degree programmes. We are convinced that this supports our students to better develop according to their interests and potentials. To meet the needs of our students, almost all of our degree programmes can also be studied on a part-time basis or under the job-friendly model.

University of Applied Sciences Burgenland aims at creating unique experiences for students, offering tailor-made degree programmes that fit students’ needs.

Full-time: Students who choose to study on a full-time basis come to the study centre during the week, from Monday to Friday. Working while studying is possible only in the evenings or at weekends, if at all. Towards the end of a Bachelor's degree programme, you will spend three to four months in a professional internship, possibly even abroad. We have summarised some of our students' experiences on our blog.

Part-time specifically means that if you already have a job, you can come to the blocked courses at the weekends. In addition, internet-based distance learning parts allow you to decide for yourself when and where you devote time to the course material.

Depending on the degree programme chosen, you will be at the study centre every weekend or perhaps only once a month. The length of distance-learning periods also varies - find out more about the degree programme of your choice on our website. It is possible to study alongside full-time employment. However, we recommend that you agree on a reduction of your weekly working hours with your employer.

Extended part-time: For the Bachelor's degree programmes in the Department of Energy & Environment, there is also the option of studying on an "extended part-time" basis. This means that the degree programmes last two more semesters and therefore have a lower workload per semester.

Job-friendly: Some Bachelor's degree programmes are structured in such a way that students are more flexible in completing additional training, doing voluntary work or working a few hours alongside their studies. The courses in these degree programmes are held in blocks from Monday to Wednesday, for example. Please enquire for more information relating to the degree programme of your choice.
