Studying as a Parent.

Combining university studies and childcare can be challenging, but we can do it together!

In addition to advising centers, the JKU's campus infrastructure makes it easier for you to balance your workload with family responsibilities. In addition to offering flexible childcare services (during the summer as well!), there are diaper-changing stations, play areas and high chairs available on campus. Your little one should feel just as comfortable here as you do.

 

Our tip: Our brochure "Studieren mit Kind", opens an external URL in a new window is published by the Austrian Students Union and provides information about balancing studies and family life as well as childcare responsibilities.
