Family-friendly university

The Coordination Centre Family-Friendly University at the University of Vechta is a central contact point for initial advice and mediation for families. This service office advises, informs and supports students, employees, lecturers and leadership staff at the University of Vechta and the institution itself in order to jointly organise study, examination, qualification and working conditions in a family-friendly way and to systematically integrate the compatibility of family responsibilities, studies and work in the organisation and culture of the university. The confidential and resource-oriented advice offered by the Coordination Centre Family-Friendly University covers the following topics:
