Can I get parental leave if I become pregnant?

Yes, you can get parental leave from your study program – both as a future father and a future mother. You apply for this via an e-form at KUnet. It is important that you attach the journal from your midwife when you submit the form.

When you are on parental leave, you have the opportunity to take courses or exams if you wish to do so. In the form, you can note that there are courses or examinations you would like to attend even though you are on parental leave. If you plan to be studying while on parental leave, it is a good idea to contact SUND/HEALTH Student and Career Guidance in advance.
