  • ‘Study abroad with child’ information portal

    The information portal was created as part of the Best Practice Club ‘Family in Higher Education’. It showcases different paths of parents studying abroad, explains which steps are necessary to prepare for studying abroad with a child, and where you can find contacts and advice.

    The initiative was launched because students with children should be offered the same valuable, exciting and thrilling experiences and opportunities abroad as their fellow students without family commitments.
