Leave of Absence

You may require leave of absence some time during your studies. Leave of absence must have a minimum duration of one semester, and can be permitted for up to a maximum of one academic year or two consecutive semesters.

It is not possible to apply for leave of absence before you embark on a study program. If you are granted leave, you must personally submit written confirmation that you will resume your studies by the deadline given.

You may apply for three variations of leave, which each have different guidelines and regulations.
