If you will be taking an extended leave of absence during your time as a PhD student in the WASP program it is important that you inform the WASP Program Office (info@wasp-sweden.org) as soon as possible.

For leave longer than six months, you have the opportunity to change your cohort to a later class. Changing cohorts will allow you to participate in WASP activities that may have been missed during the extended leave.

Guidelines for changing cohort:

  • You have been absent for an period of at least 6 months.
  • You submit an application for a cohort change* by filling in this form. 

*The application must be submitted no later than two months after the end of the leave.
