Doing a doctorate with a child

The University of Cologne would like to provide special support for academics with children. It therefore offers comprehensive support and provides special financial support and targeted childcare services.

The Dual Career & Family Support and the Office of the Gender Equality Officer also offer a wide range of other support services for employees of the University of Cologne.
There are numerous support services for doctoral candidates with children at many graduate institutions. For detailed information, please contact the central graduate school of your Faculty or your doctoral programme.
