Parents merely need to apply at the cashier's for a YoungsterCard (using valid proof of enrollment and your child's birth certificate). Just show this when you eat at the cafeteria.

Free time activities

University Sports

University Sports at Universität Hamburg runs a special children's program for children between one and eleven, including opportunities with and without parents. For information about current courses, costs, and capacities, please see the University Sports pages.

Children's University Hamburg

Every fall, children between eight and twelve years old can attend the University over a period of six weeks. Real professors come to the Audimax to answer questions like "Where does wind come from?" or "What was Ötzi doing in the mountains?" For more information about the Children's University and the current course catalog, please see www.kinderuni-hamburg.de!

Activities for doctoral students with children

Aiming to foster internalization the PIASTA team for doctoral students offers interesting activities for international and German participants.

The University's scientific collections help empower kids

Within the framework of the initiative "Culture is Strength. Education Alliances" of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), children get a chance to explore Hamburg's museums and realize ideas on their own. Two of our University collections succeeded with their application projects in the national contest:

In 2014 Universität Hamburg's introduced its Center for Collections and Museums. Ever since, the center has coordinated numerous educational projects like the empowering young people initiative, and has strongly been promoting the implementation of similar projects. Thus, our valuable scientific collections will further contribute to education, research, and teaching purposes.

Toy boxes

Students and staff might have to bring their children to the campus or the office for many reasons: Perhaps the childcare provider is closed for the day, there is an outbreak of lice at the kindergarten, the nanny has to cancel, a child has just recovered from an illness but is not ready to return to school, or a guest lecturer needs to bring children along over the weekend. To ease the situation for parents and children, we provide portable toy boxes (sponsored by the University's Equal Opportunity Unit). You can borrow one at any of the locations listed below.

Where to borrow a toy box:
