Family service

Family service

The University of Oldenburg has been recognized as a family-friendly university since 2004 and became a member of the ‘Family at University’ best practice club in 2014. The University is committed to developing working and study conditions which are suitable for families. Family is understood as a social concept describing long-term responsibility for other people. Members of the family include children, parents, married partners, life partners, siblings, grandparents and people in need of care irrespective of family relationship.
