Leave of absence

As a student at our university, you can apply for a leave of absence from your studies if there is an important reason. As a rule, this can be granted for up to a total of two semesters per degree programme. Periods of maternity and parental leave are not counted towards this.

Your application for leave of absence must be submitted in good time via the Office of Student Affairs at OTH Amberg-Weiden. During the period of leave of absence, you remain a student at OTH Amberg-Weiden.

Study and examination achievements - with the exception of repeat examinations, which must be written (!) - cannot be completed during the period of leave of absence. If you are on maternity leave or parental leave, you may take examinations.

Please note that the re-registration obligation also applies during the period of leave.
