Facilities and support offers

In order to make studying easier for students with children and to promote family orientation and family friendliness at THWS in general, there are a number of support services available. A selection of these is listed below.

Please note, however, that there is no statutory accident insurance cover for children brought into the THWS buildings.

THWS itself offers rooms for pregnant students as places of retreat. The rooms are currently being reviewed and will be listed here gradually with access options:
