Studying with a child

The Family Service offers confidential counselling and support for fathers, mothers and pregnant women.

Family Service

Are you pregnant or do you already have children?

We will be happy to help you with any questions and problems you may have around studying.

For example, we can advise on:

  • Rules for studying fathers and mothers (taking exams, family-friendly study periods, extension of the duration of study)
  • Financing of studies with a child
  • Childcare facilities on the campuses

During Pregnancy

We will be happy to advise you during your pregnancy and recommend that you report it. This safeguards your rights under the Maternity Protection Act.

As soon as you are aware of your pregnancy, please complete the pregnancy notification form and forward it to Family Services.  We will then contact you and initiate the next steps. Breastfeeding mothers are also protected by law.

According to the General Examination Regulations (§ 8 (3) BA bzw. § 7 (3) MA), special regulations apply to you regarding compensation for disadvantages for examinations whose examination period falls within the statutory maternity protection period.

Please speak to the head of degree programme or lecturers about which examinations can be converted to alternative examination forms. You can find the application form for the examination board in the
download area. Once the application form has been completed, please sent it to the Family Service.

When your statutory maternity leave begins, you are entitled to a special form of leave. You can take up to 6 semesters of leave per child up to the age of 10 for "childcare". Further information can be found here.
