Types of Degree Programmes

The Faculty of Life Sciences offers a number of flexible study options for students who live in Germany or have lived in Germany for a prolonged period of time. Due to a number of factors, these study options are not available for international students. See the descriptions below for more information. 

Study part-time

Five of our Bachelor's programmes and three Master's programmes offer the possibility of studying part-time while working. This study mode is arranged for students who are already employed in a field related to the study programme. Enrolment in such part-time study programme requires a valid work contract with a German company or organisation. These degree programs are suitable for part-time study in accordance with Section 62a, Paragraph 2 of the Higher Education Act of North Rhine-Westphalia (HG NRW).
