You are privileged

The fact is that you as a student in Denmark is privileged when it comes to having children during their studies. Many believe that it is preferable to have children while studying!

Economically most students can look forward to 12 extra grants, self-managed - and there are also additional clips to the father of the child.

Read on from a bachelor's degree, be sure to get signed up in an unemployment fund within 14 days after you finished your BA.

If you signed up for an unemployment fund within 14 days after you were undergraduate, and thus is entitled to unemployment benefits, you can also receive maternity benefit during your further studies according to special rules. Ask your unemployment fund.

If one takes into account the extra clip and flexibility of disbursement of clips, and other forms of grants when students have a child, so many students have parents actually more money than parents who work!

Plan for your child and your desires

A great joy of having children while studying, is the ability to plan his day. You can choose to organize your entire maternity leave - all 12 clips, or you can turn some of them together and shorten maternity period, if you want to return to studies.

You can also in some studies to plan your return to the studio so that you get your small child looked after by the mothers group or a grandparent a few hours a week when you are on maternity leave, while you grab a few lectures, and then you can read part time and choose subjects and modules for what fits in planning.

Or you can send the baby in the nursery and return full-time - or even choose to fit your kid yourself and maybe remove studying via the net or take the child if it is an option in your studio.

Ask your study guide to your study location, availability varies.

As a student, time your own

You are rarely forced to be a certain place from 7-17, as many working parents is when you plan travel time with. The travel time increases namely often when you get a job; whereas most students live in relative proximity to the place of study (this does not apply to all). Have you, for example, 20 hours of class time per week, you can even plan the rest of your preparation, group work etc.

With a small child it can be a great advantage to have the hours between the hours 15-19 free since it is there that the child typically watchful and want to be with you. So you can still study actively, while the child is in day by day, and so you can enjoy yourselves in the afternoon and you can prepare yourself when baby sleeps at night.
