Study and career with family

The TUM Family Service is happy to support you in successfully combining family life and everyday student life. It is your central first point of contact for all questions relating to family and studies. You can find important general information and news on this topic here. In order to successfully combine family life and everyday study life, you can also find further information on the topic of studying at TUM with a family. If you are wondering what opportunities there are at TUM to find a good balance between family life and everyday working life or how parental leave, maternity leave or carers' leave work in practice at TUM, the information on working at TUM with family can help you.

Especially in Straubing, a family room is available to students and employees. This can be used for staying with children, studying or breastfeeding.

Childcare

Regular childcare makes it easier to return to work or to combine studying and family life. But what childcare options are actually available and when is the right time to take advantage of childcare? In addition to nurseries and other childcare centres, there are also alternative forms of childcare such as childminders or nannies. Here you can find out about the most common types of regular childcare. The "Elternbrief EXTRA" from the Bavarian State Youth Welfare Office (German language) is also an important decision-making aid.

Care

A sudden case of care in the family initially confronts you with many questions. The TUM Family Service will be happy to help you with any questions you may have on the subject of care and to arrange helpful support services for you. Here you will also find further information on the subject of caring for relatives

Thanks to a cooperation between TUM and awo lifebalance, you will receive comprehensive advice from our cooperation partner on all forms of care and support in finding facilities or caregivers.

TUM would like to provide as much support as possible in reconciling family or caregiving responsibilities with work or studies. The new company care guides have been trained to provide initial guidance in the "care jungle" as the first point of contact in the context of collegial consultation. In this way, they can provide an initial overview of company and statutory offerings, external points of contact and cooperation partners, and provide relief. The company care guides can thus be the first point of contact when employees or students are faced with a care situation for relatives.

As a trained care guide, Elke Nothaft from the Straubing Student Service is available to you as a TUM member as a contact person (by telephone, in person or by email).
