Information for students with children
As a family-friendly university, it is important to the University of Würzburg that students with children are supported in their study situation. Measures for this are, for example:
- the preferential allocation of appointments for students with children for tutorials, practicals, laboratory courses, etc.
- the introduction of very flexible regulations for absences of students with children in the event of illness of the child proven as long as the illness can be attested to by a doctor e.g. make-up dates or substitute services in the event of several days of absence
See in addition the letter from the Registrar dated 10.04.2012.
In addition, students can be exempted from the obligation to adhere to the regular course of study or even granted a leave of absence for a good cause (e.g. birth, raising and caring for children). Information on applying for a leave of absence as well as related information on deadlines, coursework and examinations can be found on the Student Administration Office website.
For the very youngest offspring of students - babies from 2 months - the Family Service offers care at the Campus StudiKids. From around 10 months, students' little ones can go to the Studierendenwerk crèche.
Registration takes place - as for the other Würzburg daycare centers - via the city's Little Bird parent portal. If necessary, financial support for childcare can be applied for from the youth welfare office of the respective youth welfare office, e.g. Würzburg.
Registration is done - as for the other Würzburg daycare centres - via the city´s Little Bird parent portal. Financial support for childcare can be applied for at the economic youth welfare office of the respective youth welfare office, e.g. Würzburg, if required.
