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.

Counseling

Counseling concept of the Family Service

The compatibility of family and work / studies implies many different challenges and can become a problem due to multiple burdens. The family service of the University of Oldenburg supports you in your search for sustainable solutions for the compatibility of work / study and family.

For this purpose, we offer you confidential, resource-oriented and solution-oriented advice on the Haarentor and Wechloy campuses. Our advice is individual, low-threshold and personal, because every person has their own situation and their own idea of ​​a good balance between family and work.

"The longer you stand in front of the door, the more foreign you become" (Franz Kafka)
