16.4 On what legal basis is the profile feature "part-time" checked?

Part-time study programmes are so-called study programmes with a special profile. According to § 12 para. 6 MRVO, study programmes with a special profile claim “have a self-contained study programme concept that adequately represents the special characteristics of the profile”. According to the explanatory memorandum to this paragraph, this means the following for the assessment: “If the higher education institution applies for or identifies a study programme with certain characteristics (e.g. […] part-time […]), these characteristics are part of the study programme profile and are therefore also subject to assessment. In these cases, the criteria mentioned in [§ 12] paragraphs 1 to 5 are to be applied depending on the specific profile from the respective specific perspective and measured against the special requirements to be defined by the higher education institutions in each case.”
