Students with children

Studying with a child is a special challenge that requires organizational talent and flexibility. On the other hand, according to many studying parents, studying is also a particularly good time to decide to have a child, because you have more time for your offspring than in your later professional life.

You can get comprehensive information about family-conscious measures in the brochure "Studying with a child at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences (PDF)".

You can also find a helpful collection of information and experiences on the homepage www.studieren-mit-kind.org.

If you have any questions or problems regarding the topic "Pregnant while studying" or "Studying with a child", our Equal Opportunities and Family Officer will be happy to help you.

Pregnant - and now?

The Studierendenwerk Thüringen also offers counseling for pregnant women and students with children as part of its general social counseling. Contact details and office hours can be found on the Studierendenwerk's counseling pages.

General advice on the subject of "Pregnancy and Birth" can be obtained from free advice centers, e.g. the Nordhausen Family Center.

There you will also receive information on how to apply for financial support from the HandinHand Foundation, which can offer great financial help with the purchase of initial equipment, especially to student parents without additional income.
