Working Group on Family-Friendly Studies (AG FFS)
Welcome to the AG FFS
Welcome and thank you for visiting our website. The AG FFS is the contact point for students with family or caregiving responsibilities at the University of Bremen. This includes students with children or relatives in need of care. We are happy to help you with questions and challenges in everyday university life. We regularly organize small and large events for networking purposes and represent the interests of students with care responsibilities in various committees.
Where to find us
Our rooms are accessible via the outdoor area/playground, directly on the boulevard, diagonally opposite the canteen. There is a ramp down from the boulevard and the entrance is by the pink and blue gate. Click here for video route description.

Our main tasks
Do you have questions about studying with caregiving responsibilities? We are happy to help you.
As AG FFS, we offer students advice at eye level. Since we are also students with children, a first conversation can often be helpful. This can be done online or in person at our office. We are not an official counseling service of the University of Bremen, but we are in close contact with the different counseling services of the University and we regularly attend trainings on different topics. Feel free to contact us with your concerns. We will try to help you or refer you to the right contact person.
To make an appointment, please send us an email or contact us on Instagram.
Another central point of contact for initial counseling at the university is the Family Service Office. There is also the Social Counseling Service of the Studierendenwerk.
We are the interface between parents and the university. We are not only there for you when there are problems, but also to make the university a friendlier place for students with care responsibilities. To this end, we are in close and regular contact with the various offices of the University of Bremen. Do you have ideas on how the university can better implement family friendliness and make it easier for students with care responsibilities to study? Please feel free to contact us.
We would like to give you a brief insight into some helpful information that can make your everyday university life with care tasks easier.
If you need to look something up quickly, you can also find many of these tips on the map of family-friendly places.
You can find more information on family-friendly services on campus, such as play corners, parent-child workstations, breastfeeding and nappy-changing facilities and much more in our section ‘Did you know...?’.
We organise small and large events, such as a parents' café, summer festivals and flea markets, to ensure productive interaction and ongoing networking.
More information can be found on our website and on our social media channels.
You can find all the information about our events and university-wide events under the News tab.
We look forward to seeing you!
