Can I work while studying?
Please realize that you will have little time left for a part time job. One ECTS is equivalent to a workload of 28 hours. A semester (5 months) contains 30 ECTS which means that you will spend 840 hours on your studies. This translates to spending 40 hours per week on your studies. Consequently, you will realize it is difficult to combine your studies with work. We would also like to stress that if you do not speak Dutch it will be very difficult to find a job.
Depending on your nationality you are allowed to work a limited couple of hours a week. More information can be found here: http://www.rug.nl/education/international-students/financial-matters/employment-and-study-in-groningen -
