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.

"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.
