Study leave

In accordance with the Adult Education Act, a working student may apply to their employer for a study leave.

Both full and part-time students have the right to apply for study leave. The student can get study leave for up to 30 days per calendar year on the basis of a certificate of the education institution (confirmation of study). The employee or civil servant receives average salary for 20 calendar days. The student can take additional 15 days of study leave for the graduation process. At the request of the student, the employer must grant him/her another 7 calendar days of unpaid vacation.
In order to apply for study leave, the student has to provide a certificate issued by the educational institution. The certificate can be requested from the study secretaries in the Academic Affairs Office by phone or e-mail.

The study leave certificate can only be issued for a specific time period and the exam times will be marked on the document according to the student’s exam schedule.
