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.
Childcare for staff members with children
Childcare for international researchers with children
Childcare for students with children
Accepting a research or teaching assignment abroad can be quite a challenge – not only for the researchers themselves, but also for the family members who accompany them. The Dual Career Service offers professional orientation and (new) career prospects to partners of newly appointed staff. As a family-friendly institution, the University of Münster is committed to helping visiting researchers and their families make their stay a success.
