Extract from the general and examination regulations of the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee


§ 19 Part-time studies

(1) If there is an entitlement to part-time study in accordance with § 22 (4) BerlHG, the respective representative for examination matters in accordance with § 26 (3) will develop an individual study plan together with the student concerned upon request. The standard period of study is determined according to the study load envisaged in relation to a full-time study program.


(2) The application to study part-time is generally to be submitted in writing before the beginning of the semester, stating reasons. If the student has not specified a shorter duration in the application or when re-registering, the studies will be carried out in part-time form as long as the requirements according to § 22 (4) sentence 2 BerlHG are met. The student must inform the university if the reasons for part-time studies no longer apply. The periods of study completed in part-time study will be credited to the standard period of study in accordance with the proportion of time spent on the regular study program.


(3) Part-time students have the same status at the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee as full-time students. Fees and contributions are to be paid in full. The Kunsthochschule Berlin Weissensee assumes no responsibility or liability for the effects of part-time studies on areas outside of the university and on services used by non-university institutions.
