Welcome to Service for Families

Heidelberg University campaigns for compatibility between teaching, work, research and responsibility for families. Therefore family focus is a task which Heidelberg University takes seriously. Heidelberg University wants to support students and scholars by family-friendly work and social environment. To relieve families from parental concerns the University has arranged different offerings.

• childcare options
• finding a nanny
• looking for school places
• finding a babysitter
• information about leisure time facilities like sports or lessons in arts or music for children
• information about childcare during school holidays
• or any other questions concerning family matters.
