Sick leave

Møteplan

All PhD candidates' progress in their doctoral training is monitored, and all kinds of sickness absence or study leave must therefore be reported to the employer. For periods of sickness absence, PhD candidates are entitled to an extension of the funding period if they hold a university fellowship. It is of great importance, therefore, that the employer and administrative PhD coordinator are informed about long periods of study leave.

In order to be entitled to an extension, you must be able to document sickness absence. PhD candidates with funding other than university fellowships must check the rights and duties related to their funding scheme with their funding source.

All PhD candidates, regardless of funding source, are entitled to an extension of the study period due to documented sickness absence.
