Studying full-time is the classic option. If you don't want to do an apprenticeship alongside your studies or don't want to work full-time, a full-time study programme is right for you. A full-time Bachelor's degree lasts three years, a full-time Master's degree two years. During this time, you invest in your education and your future career, which may well last 40 years or more. Most full-time students study directly after leaving school, after a gap year or after vocational training. About half of the students move to another city for this purpose, thus ushering in a completely new phase of life.
