H-BRS is committed to the compatibility of studies, career, science and family. Successfully certified six times since 2007, we have been able to implement a variety of measures and projects to create better support services for family-friendly study and working conditions at the university. For us, family includes single-parent families, same-sex and mixed-sex couples, patchwork families, families with disabled (foster) children and those with relatives in need of care - we are there to support all of them.

Quality assurance

In December 2022, Bonn-Rhein Sieg University of Applied Sciences was awarded the "audit familiengerechte hochschule" (family-friendly university audit) for the 6th time and thus receives the right to continue to use the certificate, which is protected throughout Europe.
