CampCareer has a Germany programme catalogue, but the current city seed relationships do not prove campus-specific delivery. Institution or teaching-location presence is never used to infer programme delivery; city programmes will appear only after explicit offering-to-campus evidence is verified.
The city catalogue state is shown as verification pending rather than “0 programmes”.
This is the Phase 3 initial verified teaching-location set, not a complete inventory of every German university site. Multi-campus institutions are kept inside the municipality boundary only when the teaching location itself is explicitly verified.

Student auxiliary academic work has a separate exception in the stored federal guidance.
Third-country students may use the 140 full/280 half-day annual rule or work up to 20 hours/week during lecture periods; student auxiliary academic work is exempt from these restrictions.
