Studying with child(ren)
Students with children are also very welcome at FB01! The organisation of studying with child(ren) places very special demands on parents/guardians. We would like to support you with this:
The pages of the central Equal Opportunities Office of the University of Münster provide a very good overview of assistance and offers on the subject of studying with children: Studying with children. Here you will find, among other things, a brochure on the subject and various programmes and advice centres for young parents, such as the Studi-Kidz-Café, childcare services or the Madame Courage donation project for single parents.
The Protestant Theological Faculty (Universitätsstraße 13 - 17) has set up a breastfeeding and nappy-changing facility in room ETH 308a. Further nappy-changing and breastfeeding facilities as well as parent-child rooms can be found here.
If you have any questions or need support, please contact the Equal Opportunities Officers and their representatives (see above).
Caring for relatives
Studying with relatives in need of care requires organisational talent and resilience. The University of Münster offers various options for organising your studies in a care-friendly way so that you can still study with caring responsibilities.
If you have any questions or need support, please contact the Equal Opportunities Officers and their representatives (see above).

Working Group Queer
The working group Queer consists of members of the Faculty of Protestant Theology who aim at making diversity more transparent at the faculty – within studies, during everyday university life and with each other.
During regular meetings, members can reflect, plan, organize and be inspired.
The working group Queer is a safe space and welcomes everyone to join, discuss and meet new people. There are also events beyond the faculty meetings in more casual settings. Everybody is welcome!
