UMIT is a university where it is possible to combine studies and work with family life. Many study programs at UMIT are delivered via 'block teaching' in modules, making them compatible with work and family life. We offer our working colleagues, especially young parents, flexible working-time models, ranging from parental part-time to part-time work-from-home options. The proportion of women working at UMIT is 50%. Approximately 60% of our students are women. Through measures promoting occupational health, UMIT encourages a healthy work-life balance. In this context, our employees' psychological stress, in particular, is checked at regular intervals. Besides a clear action plan for the promotion of women and equal opportunities working for the party, UMIT offers on-campus facilities that support the reconciliation of family and working life.
