How to study during the break?

Semester break - the time between semesters
The semester break is the time between the end of the lecture and the beginning of the semester. The duration of the semester break is about 2 ½ months, whereby the holidays after the summer semester are a bit longer than the holidays after the winter semester Most universities and technical colleges also offer smaller holidays of one week duration, such as Easter, Whitsun, or Christmas holidays, but these regulations vary greatly from one university to another.

Often a lot of work is waiting during the semester break
For most students, the semester break is not just more free time. Often you have to prepare for exams, write homework or visit multi-day block seminars. Those who have to complete study-accompanying internships usually also do this during the semester break, as it is usually not possible to do this part-time during the lecture period. Still, there are still a few weeks left in the semester break to recover from the stress of the semester and gather new strength for the next one.

Highly sought after summer jobs
Since the Bafög and the support of parents often not enough to finance the study and the livelihood, many students use the semester break to supplement their finances with a summer job. Since these summer jobs are very popular, the seats are often already occupied before the start of the semester break. Therefore, it is advisable to look for a suitable holiday job just a few weeks before the start of the holiday. In most universities, there is an office of the Federal Labor Office, which is responsible for the placement of student jobs. If you do not find anything suitable, you can also contact a temporary employment agency. The pay does not have to be worse here, but you often get temporary jobs at temporary employment agencies. Also, you can try to work with Edubirdie Australia which will help you both earn money and develop. As a general rule, the sooner you take care of a summer job, the greater the chance that you can work the whole holiday with a single company and not have to look for a new job several times.

Student jobs are worthwhile
Those who already study in a higher semester often have the opportunity to pursue a more qualified job with a correspondingly better pay. But even a simple part-time job is worth it because in student jobs other than pension insurance contributions no further social security contributions are deducted from the salary and possibly paid payroll taxes can be retrieved with the next income tax return. However, the exemptions from sickness, long-term care, and unemployment insurance contributions are not only valid for summer jobs but also for jobs that are part-time during the semester. It is important that the employer is presented with a current study certificate. Forgetting this eliminates the financial benefits and treats the student like a normal worker.
