Definition working student

Working students are students who are enrolled at a University or some other institution of higher education, and who are employed in a reasonably long, fixed-term position parallel to their studies. This position must not be confused with an internship or with the possibility of writing a final thesis.

This employment usually takes place directly on the company's premises. A working student's main focus remains on their studies, which is why, during term-time, working students are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week.

Working students therefore usually work near their place of study, so as to conveniently combine studying and employment.

Bremen is a charming city full of history in the northwest of Germany. In addition to being one of the country’s greenest cities, it offers wonderful sights, a rich culture, urban flair and culinary delights.

  • A final thesis is possible after consultation with the department.
  • International environment with the opportunity to network globally.
  • Work with modern/diversified technologies.

  • Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.

Your Tasks And Responsibilities

  • Designing prototype parts using CAD software.
  • Build prototypes using different manufacturing techniques and materials.
  • Documentation of results and recommendations.
  • Understand the customer needs and develop a technical approach.
  • Do simple maintenance tasks and repairs on machines.

  • 3D printing experience.
  • Creativity, pragmatism and efficiency.

Working student essentials

What this Engineering working student role in Bremen means for you: the weekly-hours rules, the social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.

Weekly hours

Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.

Working student rules

Social contributions

Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.

Check your insurance

International students

Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
