Leave of absence ('Urlaubssemester')

You do not have to take a leave of absence but often students choose to do so because it means that the semester when they are studying abroad or doing an internship, for example, will not be counted towards their total time of study.

To take a leave of absence, students are required to submit a form at the Registrar's Office, and, in case of an internship, some sort of proof such as a copy of the employment contract.

Taking a leave of absence for an internship is only possible if the duration of the internship stretches over at least half of the lecture period. You need to apply before the internship starts and, in addition, by December 15 at the latest for the winter semester / by June 15 at the latest for the summer semester.

It will not be possible to write any exams or seminar papers or register for anything in FlexNow during your leave of absence.
