Yes, international students can study and work together in Germany!

Work Rights for International Students in Germany:
- Permitted Hours: You can work 120 full days or 240 half days per year while studying.
- During Semester: Part-time work is allowed, but you must not exceed the permitted days.
- During Semester Breaks: You can work full-time during holidays, within the annual limit.
- Internships: Mandatory internships (required by your course) do not count towards your 120-day limit. Voluntary internships do.

Important Points:
- You cannot be self-employed or work as a freelancer on a student visa.
- If you work more than the permitted days, you need special approval from the local employment agency (Agentur für Arbeit) and the foreigners’ office (Ausländerbehörde).
- Students typically earn between €10–€15 per hour in student jobs (e.g., in cafes, libraries, research assistantships, etc.).
- The income from part-time work is generally tax-free up to a certain annual limit.

Why work while you study?
- Gain valuable work experience.
- Earn extra money to support living expenses.
- Build your professional network in Germany.
