Studying with family and care responsibilities
Studying opens up many opportunities for personal and professional development. However, if you have family and care responsibilities, everyday university life often brings further challenges in addition to your private responsibilities. Reconciling studying, childcare and/or caring for relatives requires a high degree of organization and flexibility. To ensure that everyone has the same opportunities during their studies, there are various support services and legal regulations.
