'Studienzeit' (study period) is a compound noun made up of 'Studium' (studies, degree program) in the form 'Studien-' and 'Zeit' (time). The '-en-' is a linking sound that connects the two parts of the word.
Die Studienzeit ist für viele eine prägende Phase im Leben.
For many people, their time at university is a formative phase in life.
When the personal life phase is meant, the word is often used with the preposition 'während' (+ genitive) or 'in' (+ dative). Both forms are common.
Während meiner Studienzeit habe ich in einer Wohngemeinschaft gelebt.
During my time at university, I lived in a shared apartment.
You can usually recognize the meaning 'official duration' from words like 'Regelstudienzeit' (standard period of study), 'beträgt' (amounts to / is), 'überschreiten' (to exceed), or the mention of a specific number of semesters. The personal meaning is often made clear by possessive pronouns like 'meine' (my) or 'deine' (your).

In the context of the official duration, certain combinations are very common. These include 'die Regelstudienzeit' (the standard period of study), 'die Studienzeit einhalten' (to keep to the study period), and 'die Studienzeit überschreiten' (to exceed the study period).
Wer die Regelstudienzeit überschreitet, muss eventuell Gebühren zahlen.
