P-T

If you become a parent and want parental leave during your study, you must apply for parental leave.

Documentation

Please attach one of the following forms of documentation when you apply:

• Medical journal with your due date
• Birth certificate
• Adoption certificate
• Acknowledgement of paternity or co-motherhood

General rules on pregnancy

• It is important to distinguish between maternity and pregnancy. Pregnancy does not in itself constitute an unusual situation and does not justify exemption. If you experience illness during your pregnantcy that affects your studies, you may submit an application for sick leave or apply for exemption separately.
• When is parental leave granted? You can contact your study counsellor for a talk about the best to start and end your parental leave.
• SU: Parental leave can affect your SU. It is therefore important that you examine your SU situation and possibly contact your SU counsellor in the study administration.
• Residence permit: If you are not a Danish citizen and are on parental leave or other leave, you may risk losing your residence permit. If you have a residence permit because you are a student, you must be active as a student to keep your residence permit. The Board of International Recruitment and Integration does not consider a student to be active during parental leave.
• Parental leave does not count in the maximum period of study time

Response to your application

Your application will be processed by the head of programme and the Study Administration. The head of programme will determine if you can be allowed an exemption. You will receive a reply from the Study Administration within five weeks.

Every second year, all students - both full-time and part-time students - participate in a survey that runs across the Danish Business Academies. The study focuses on both the academic and the social environment of the education, as well as your general experience of how the education works.

The survey will be sent to your KEA mail. Based on the results of the study, action plans are drawn up, which must address the focus areas that are being worked on in the various programs.

Do you need inspiration for your assignment, or would you be interested in seeing what former KEA students have written about, have a look at OPGAVER.KEA.DK. Here you’ll find examples of study assignments in both Danish and English from all of KEA’s programme areas.

All these assignments were graded either 10 or 12.

At KEA Library you can always find a copy of the readings from your syllabus. You cannot borrow the books from the syllabus with you home, but you can read them in the library or scan the chapters you need on our book scanner. This way, you are always guaranteed access to the literature on your syllabus. 

We often buy extra copies of the books on the syllabus for our regular collection, and you can of course borrow them to take home with you – under normal terms and according to the principle of first come, first served.

At KEA, we tidy up after ourselves – in the classrooms, offices and communal areas. KEA’s indoor and outdoor communal areas are available for everyone – employees and students – and you are welcome to use them in connection with your studies. At KEA, we regard it a shared responsibility to make sure that these areas are kept appealing.

Show consideration for other users by leaving the area as you would wish to find it – i.e. return furniture etc. to its original place after use, and remove any waste etc.

Please use the waste containers and the containers for deposit bottles and cans in the rooms. Do not leave things in the communal areas, including the bicycle-parking basement at GBG. Any items left there will be removed.

In the classrooms at GBG, Building E, and at PCG, there are designated boxes for items and papers left behind by students and subsequently found by the cleaning staff. The boxes will be emptied every Friday and the contents discarded, so make sure to check whether you may have left something behind that you want to keep.

Facility & IT regularly conducts tidying-up rounds at all KEA’s addresses. It is particularly important that you remove your things from the classrooms at the end of every semester.
