Yes, you can. Bachelor students can do part time job (20 hours per week). Master and PhD students can do a full time (40 hours per week) job after completing the first study year. You have to find a job yourself. You are responsible for it.

The tuition fee for the first study year has to be paid in full (one installment). Starting from second study year the tuition fee can be paid per semester in which case your residence permit will be extended for one semester only.
