Who can apply?
If you have been offered and accepted a place at a study programme at UiO, you can apply for a postponed start of studies for up to four semesters (two years).
You can apply for a postponed start of studies on the basis of:
- Parental leave
- Conscription
- Long-term illness (yourself or someone in your care)
- Other weighty reasons beyond your control
In some cases, the structure of the study programme means that you cannot postpone the start of studies for one or three semesters. In these cases, you must apply for a postponed start of studies for two or four semesters.
You must be aware that during the absence there may be changes in the study programme that have an impact on your further course of study.
Application deadline
- 1 September for study programmes starting in the autumn semester.
