Family-friendly university
Saarland University sees itself as a place of teaching and research, where studying and working with family responsibilities
is supported both structurally and ideally.
As a university for all, the University respects the special challenges of parents or carers, among others, in order to realise and advance the goal of family justice as comprehensively as possible.

Students of Saarland University can supplement their budget by taking on a demanding job. Parents (students and employees of Saar University) can find reliable and flexible help with childcare here.
Sometimes no childcare is offered in the afternoons, childcare is cancelled at short notice or parents only need short childcare to attend individual courses.
