Deferment, accreditation and change of programme

Deferment of studies

If you have been accepted to and have confirmed a place in an education programme but have no possibility to start, you can apply for deferment of studies. Reasons for a deferred enrolment in the programme can be social, medical or due to other circumstances, e.g. postponed time off according to the law of employees’ right to leave of absence in connection with education. As a rule, the reasons shall have occurred after the application to the education programme has been submitted.
Normally a deferral is granted for a year at the most, or until the next class of students start the programme.

Deferral is not granted in connection with single subject courses or for students admitted at a second or later round of admissions.
