It is not always simple to balance family and study. However, the University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven helps with that: it has developed a range of measures to make the working and learning conditions at the university family-friendly.
By offering “little campus”, the university has set up childcare service on campus for children of students and employees. The “little campus” is not only a meeting point for children, but also for parents. For parents and parents-to-be the university has established a family portal. People who are interested can find information about childcare facilities, parent subsidies, events and leisure activities in the city and in the region. Moreover, the university strives to encourage the family awareness when organizing meetings, events and study. Committee work has been arranged in the morning to allow the participation of students and employees with family responsibilities.
