Inclusive Studies
Heidelberg University supports disabled and chronically ill students on their way to a successful degree. The services are aimed at all students with chronical health problems. This also includes diseases such as AD(H)S, autism, dyslexia or depression. As a general rule, it is not the diagnosis but the need for help that is decisive.

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.
