How many hours a week can I work?

Working students in Germany may work up to 20 hours per week during the semester and full-time during the semester breaks. Going over 20 hours in term time can cost you the working-student health-insurance rate.

What can I earn in a HR role in Cologne?

The employer hasn't published a figure. Working student pay in Germany usually runs from about €13 to €20 per hour for HR roles, depending on city and experience. Use the salary tools to estimate your take-home pay.

Do I need to speak German for this role?

Yes — this listing flags German as a requirement, so you'll be expected to work in German. Roles that accept English are tagged separately.

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.
