Support and consultation for students with children
If you have any questions about your studies with a child or about studying during pregnancy, you can get advice about offers for family-friendly studying at the Department and the TUM in general.
Early course registration for parents
Since the summer semester of 2016, the Department Health and Sport Sciences offers students who are pregnant and students with children (a child) the chance of early registration for their courses. A prerequisite to do so demands the submission of relevant documentation (verification of the pregnancy by a physician or the birth certificate of the child/children).
This preferential selection should make it possible to plan and organize the course of studies better in combination with family duties. In addition, it should enable you to limit the interruptions in your course of studies which have already taken place and to avoid as far as possible delays in the event of foreseeable interruptions (e.g., maternity periods).
Application for early course registration - Form
Please send your application for early enrollment in courses along with the relevant documentation directly to lehrveranstaltungsplanung.sg(at)tum.de
Deadline for early course registration
25.07.2022
The applications for early course registration must be submitted until the first day of the regular course registration. You can find the dates for the regular course registration on the student pages - information about courses.
Early registration is only available for classes of that specific semester. Please submit the applications as PDF files. (For more information, please contact lehrveranstaltungsplanung.sg(at)tum.de)

KidsBox - the mobile nursery
All department members can now access the KidsBox, a mobile nursery. Parents now have the opportunity to take their children with them during unexpected unsupervised periods, illness or off-peak hours, to finish important work or to attend appointments. Furthermore, the KidsBox can be used during internal events or conferences. This is another step towards the compatibility of family and work/studies, which the Department Health and Sport Sciences continually strives to ensure.
The KidsBox includes:
- Toys, books and painting supplies for babies and kids up to primary school
- Travel cot that can be used as a playpen
- Mattress and gym matte
- Press fit seat for children up to 15 Kg
- Table and chair
- A first aid kit for minor emergencies and a disinfectant
The KidsBox is fully mobile and can be easily transported to other rooms or buildings. The KidBox can be lent out after registration via phone or email at room L616, Campus D. Before borrowing the KidsBox, please inform yourself regarding the User Guidelines.
