The University of Münster was certified as a 'family-friendly' university in June 2008. This distinction honours the University's efforts to make its personnel policies and academic organisation more family-friendly. If you are a student or employee of the University with children, visit our family portal for more information and advising services.
The University of Münster provides family rooms, breastfeeding and nappy-changing rooms in facilities all around campus. For example, at the University Library (see photo).
Bringing your family to Germany requires a lot of planning. The Welcome Centre of the International Office has put together some useful information for families coming to Münster to try to make the process easier.
Good child care is essential for parents to be able to concentrate fully on their studies and work. If you are expecting a child, it is advisable to start thinking about child care early. There are different kinds of child care for different needs, and many options for families.
