Deferment of your studies
If you have been admitted to a programme at BTH, but there are extenuating circumstances and you are not able to start your studies, at the prescribed time, you may apply for deferment. Most international programmes at Blekinge Institute of Technology only start once every year, in autumn (late August/early September). This means that it will not be possible to defer to spring studies.
There are specific guidelines in Sweden and at BTH regarding the grounds for deferral. BTH can approve deferment of studies in individual cases if there are special grounds. These grounds are related to medical situations, legal requirements or other unforeseen situations that make it impossible for you to start your studies as planned. Not being able to pay your tuition fee is not considered a special ground.
In order to apply for deferment the following is required:
- You must be admitted to a programme at BTH
- The tuition fee has to be paid, if you are eligible to pay tuition fee
- A copy of the admission letter must be attached to the application
- Reasons for deferment must be clearly stated and confirmed with a certificate (eg. medical statement)
You can read more on the following site Deferment of studies External link, opens in new window..
If your application is approved, the following applies: The decision is valid for 18 months from the start date of the program you have been admitted to. You must make a new application in the new admission round. A copy of the deferment approval must be attached with your application. Note that BTH cannot guarantee that the program will start within 18 months.
