Menstrual leave
Since the beginning of the year in September 2025, UBE has implemented a menstrual leave policy to allow menstruating individuals suffering from dysmenorrhoea to justify their absence on an ad hoc basis without having to provide a medical certificate. This leave is based on a sworn statement.
The principle is simple: just send your sworn statement by post to your academic department, which will inform the relevant course coordinator.
Find all the details and a sample statement on the page dedicated to Menstrual Health at UBE.
