Eisenstadt, 31 January 2025 - Bernadett Humer, Head of the Family & Youth Section at the Federal Chancellery, has awarded the state quality mark "hochschuleundfamilie " to Burgenland University of Applied Sciences. The university acquired the basic certificate back in 2015, and since then the "family-friendly university" has been assessed in regular auditing workshops. According to the Minister, it is a particular challenge in the academic field to optimally reconcile professional opportunities and family needs. Universities therefore play a key role as employers and educational institutions.
University of Applied Sciences Burgenland Managing Director Georg Pehm describes the latest award as an "overall success for the institution".
For years, we have been taking numerous measures to make family, private life, studies and work as compatible as possible for our employees and students. And we want to be even more committed to the issue of work-life balance in the future.
Georg Pehm, Managing Director of Burgenland University of Applied Sciences
After all, the children of today are the students of tomorrow.
Concrete measures to make work and study more family-friendly include setting up a dedicated parent-child room and health-promoting measures for employees and students. The option of working from any location also enables a better work-life balance. Students with family commitments will find that the university's wide range of part-time courses offer the perfect combination of studies, job and family.
Measures that have recently received a lot of attention include the promotion and expansion of parental leave management, the expansion of flexible study organisation options and the provision of advisory, information and networking services in the field of care.
