Family-friendly University

The university aims to provide its students and staff with an environment that offers the best possible support for balancing family life with their studies or careers.

One concrete example of this is the family-friendly infrastructure, which makes it easier for parents to bring their children to campus.

On MiKi-Tag (Employee Children’s Day) all university employees are invited to show their children their workplace at the university.

  • Parents’ Rooms
  • Diaper-Changing and Breastfeeding Facilities
  • Canteen

To temporarily set up child-friendly spaces, you can borrow play boxes from the Family Services office.
