Studying as a parent
Is it possible to study as a parent? Of course it is! But it’s not always easy. We offer support to mothers and fathers in higher education – providing a wide range of special services and concessions.
Day nurseries
We cooperate with a total of four day nurseries in Osnabrück and Vechta operated by other organisations.
Here, students receive a pedagogically qualified care and education offer for their offspring.
Kids' corners and the baby.lounge at the Dining Hall
Osnabrück Student Services knows that nappy-changing facilities and kids’ corners make family lunches at the dining hall a much more relaxed experience, and it has set up all its dining halls accordingly.
Our baby.lounge at the Schlossgarten Dining Hall, heralded a “showpiece project” in the Financial Times, offers a quiet place for breastfeeding.
Under 11 years old?
Enjoy free meals!
Students’ children under the age of 11 are served free meals at dining halls operated by Osnabrück Student Services: a colourful, daily-changing kids’ dish.
Housing for students with children
We provide accommodation suitable for students with children in our housing complexes.
Counselling
Our counselling services cover a wide range of issues faced by parents who study – from information about financing your studies and childcare places to psychological counselling in individual sessions.
Parent/Child Café
Are you keen to share experiences with other parents or just chat for a while? Then why not try out the Parent/Child Café? You’re bound to meet other students there who have a lot in common with you.
