Withdrawal and Leave of Absence

Withdrawal

If you are studying a freestanding course, you can register a withdrawal in Ladok. If you register a withdrawal within three weeks of the start of the course period, you can apply for the course again. If you withdraw after that period, you cannot apply for the course again. However, it may be possible to be re-registered on the course, subject to availability.

If you wish to discontinue your studies on our Bachelor’s Programme in Global English Studies or our Master's Programme in English, you must notify the department. We encourage you to discuss your decision with our Study Counsellor first. A withdrawal should be registered by using the form below. Instructions are available on the form:

Approved Leave of Absence

If you need to make a break during your studies, you must apply for academic leave of absence to have a guaranteed place when you resume your studies. Academic leave of absence is only granted if you meet certain conditions (outlined by the Swedish Council for Higher Education) and only for a limited period of time. Please contact our Study Counsellor for further information.

Applications for approved leave of absence should be sent to the department using the form below. Instructions are available on the form:
