Study and Career with Family
Students and staff who are caring for relatives or raising children alongside their time at the university have to manage a difficult balancing act between university and family.
The TUM School of Natural Sciences tries to provide as much support as possible by offering flexible childcare in the School's own children's rooms or a quiet room that can be used by breastfeeding mothers and pregnant women.
In addition, information on financial issues is supplied below.
You can find general information on parental leave and child benefit as well as links to the relevant application forms.
There is also information on funding opportunities at TUM and contact addresses for advice centers.
When a relative suddenly needs care, you are often faced with a variety of problems: Where can you find a carer as quickly as possible? How can you ensure that neither your relative nor your work or studies have to take a back seat?
In such situations, TUM offers advice and, if necessary, emergency care. Further information on this, various brochures on the subject of care and information on flexible working hours to enable you to be active in caring for relatives can be found on the TUM Family Service pages.
