Family at the University of Münster

The University of Münster has been a certified 'family-friendly' university since June 2008. This distinction recognises the University's efforts to make its personnel policies and academic organisation more family-friendly.

Accompanying families

Taking a research or teaching assignment abroad can be quite a challenge – not only for the researchers themselves but also the families who accompany them. The Dual Career Service helps partners and spouses (re-)orientate themselves professionally. The Welcome Centre at the International Office provides families with information on childcare options, schools and financial support before they relocate to Germany.
