I am enrolled in the Medical Engineering program and pregnant. How does this affect my studies?

In order to ensure your and your child’s safety during your studies, you must inform our Student Records Office of your pregnancy as soon as possible. In order to do so, please send an email to ibz-mutterschutz[at]fau.de . Our study advisor for pregnant students, Ms Susanne Kramarenkoff, will provide you with all the information you need. This concerns the kind of courses you are allowed to take or shouldn’t take (e.g. certain lab courses), the flexibilities you are entitled to with regards to your studies (leave of absence, flexible rules regarding exams) as well as the support services FAU can offer you (childcare facilities, parent-child meetups for students etc.).
