RWTH Aachen University offers international students a strong opportunity to combine academic study with paid university work through its Student Assistantships. Open to bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD students, this partial funding opportunity can provide up to €5,928 per semester depending on workload, making it a practical way to help cover expenses while gaining hands-on experience in a respected German research and teaching environment. Because positions are tied to specific university jobs, applicants can also build relevant skills, strengthen their academic profile, and connect more closely with their department while studying at RWTH Aachen.
International students who are still deciding on the institution and program can also explore open courses in Germany to learn more about the different bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD options available across different institutions.
