Support services
As the first point of contact at Faculty 1, we are happy to advise students, employees, professors, and other employees under a tariff agreement and non-tariff agreement on all matters relating to gender equality and provide information on suitable support services at our university. Topics may include, for example, working together without fear or prejudice, gender and diversity sensitivity, or reconciling family and caring responsibilities with studies and work.

The pool for the advancement of women
Osnabrück University supports projects that contribute to gender equality through the Women's Promotion Pool. The aim is to reduce the under-representation of women and to promote promising projects in the field of women's and gender studies through targeted financial support, such as scholarships. Application deadlines are January 15 and June 15 of each year.
Madame Courage - final scholarship for single parents
The Madame Courage Osnabrück funding program is sponsored by the Sozialdienst katholischer Frauen e.V. Osnabrück and supported by the cooperation partners, Osnabrück University and Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. The funding program supports single-parent students with no other financial resources by providing temporary funding (max. 2 semesters), thus enabling them to complete their studies. Applications are possible at any time.
Accessibility
Advice and support services for students with disabilities or chronic illnesses, such as assistance in everyday study life or the possibility of applying for compensation for disadvantages in study and examination achievements, can be found on the page on studying with a disability and chronic illness.
Reconciling family and care responsibilities with studies/work
