Family-Friendliness
For us, equality of opportunity is a major concern and priority. Thus in our mission statement we explicitly undertake to ensure the equality of women and men.
We see the creation of a Family-Friendly University as a key instrument in the achievement of equality of opportunity. According to the 2012 Prognos Family Atlas, both our campuses offer excellent possibilities for combining family and student or professional life:
- an excellent housing situation and a superb living environment,
- above-average amenities for education and training.
- Students and staff in Zittau can leave their children in the care of the 'Knirpshausen' crèche & nursery in the immediate vicinity of the campus.
- Students with children are given priority for classes with limited attendance.
- The Görlitz campus has nappy-changing tables in the spatious disabled WC, either on the ground floor in the 'Blue Box' or in the Mensa.
- The Zittau campus has similar WCs with changing tables available in the Mensa.
- Both the Zittau and the Görlitz Mensa have high chairs available. The staff are always happy to heat brought-along baby food. There a child portions for children in pre-school age at only €0.50, dessert included!
