Studying with Children

Since the end of the 1960s, the Heidelberg student union has offered all-day childcare to make sure that their children are well looked after whilst their parents are busy concentrating in lectures. Children in Heidelberg receive loving care starting from 8 months to school age.

Studying with Children Working Group

Five percent of students nationwide have a child. The figure is six percent for women and only four percent for men. In Heidelberg, that is an astonishing 1550 students. We in the Study with Children working group want to shed light on the topics of "Pregnant Students" and "Studying with Children" from the students' perspective.
