Combining studying and bringing up a child is a special challenge for studying parents. The University of Erfurt has therefore set itself the goal of providing the best possible support for mothers and fathers nurturing their children.

Further offers for studying parents
"Education and Study" card
"Education and Study" card
Upon presentation of the child's birth certificate, studying mothers and fathers can apply for a parenting card in Department 1: Registrar's Office. Together with this, a letter from the university management will be handed out for presentation to the teachers, which explicitly asks them to take into account the double burden of the students in their daily study routine.
The request can be made conveniently by email to studierendenangelegenheiten@uni-erfurt.de. A scan of the birth certificate(s) must then be attached to the email.

Support for students with children
As a student, can I even afford to have a child? What possibilities are there for support and financial assistance? Who will help me with the application? You can find answers to these questions on our information page "Financing and Funding".
Care of relatives
We are also happy to support and advise students on the subject of caring for relatives. The Department 1: Registrar's Office provides information, for example on questions of leave of absence and the possibility of deferring long-term study fees. For competent and quick help in coping with everyday life with relatives in need of care, we continue to recommend the "Pflegenetz Erfurt".
