Do you need a leave of absence from your studies?

Receiving a sabbatical leave from SDU

Here you can read about what you need to do, if you become ill, have a child, or need to apply for a sabbatical leave from your studies for a different reason. The rules for applying for sabbatical leave are the same whatever your reasons for doing so.

 

Sabbatical leave due to parental leave.

If you are applying for a sabbatical leave because of parental leave, then you can read more in the section about parental leave here.

Apply for an exemption instead of sabbatical leave

If you need a break from your studies, but do not want to take or are not eligible for a sabbatical leave, you can consider applying for an exemption from your study board instead. Read more about dispensations here.
