Student teachers at SDU must be enrolled as students at SDU. If the enrolment ceases within the period of employment, the appointment as student teacher shall cease at the same time. The student teacher must provide written notice to SDU HR and the employing unit if enrolment at SDU ceases within the period of employment.
In the case of academic positions, the law on temporary employment applies, which stipulates that a student teacher can have a maximum of three consecutive appointments (one new appointment + two extensions).
A student teacher can be appointed with or without a job advertisement.
A student teacher who is employed without a job advertisement may be employed for a maximum of one year and can have one extension for up to one year.
A student teacher employed via a job advertisement can be employed for max. three years and can have two extensions for up to three years at a time.
Requests for employment without a job advertisement must go through SDUjob. For each candidate, the following is to be uploaded:
- CV
- Proof of enrolment at SDU (e.g. transcript of grades or enrolment confirmation from STADS)
- Academic assessment (form in Danish or form in English) - must be carried out by someone at associate professor level or higher. The academic assessment must be signed, and it must be made clear who prepared it.
- Statement of hours (HUM and SAMF are excluded, as hours can be entered by the unit in SDUemploy)
When extending student teacher contracts, an email is sent to HR-DVIP with the candidate's full name and/or civil registration number, as well as the exact period of extension.
The statement of hours must be attached to the extension request (HUM and SAMF are excluded, as the hours can be entered by the unit in SDUemploy). If there are changed terms in relation to the employment contract that is being extended, e.g. based on financial details, please specify this in the email with the request for extension.
If re-employment is requested less than six months after the termination of the most recent employment period as a student teacher at SDU, it is considered an extension of the most recent employment period.
Hours are paid according to how the period of the statement of hours is described.
That is, if it is stated, for example, 'autumn/spring semester 202x', hours will be paid at 1/5 throughout the semester (autumn semester: September-January, and spring semester: February-June), or the part of the semester in which the student teacher is employed.
If the hours take place in portions of the semester, it must be specified in the timetable for which month the hours are to be paid, e.g. 'September-November'.
The conditions of employment cease without special notice at the end of the period stated in the letter of employment.
Notice of resignation by the student teacher must be given one month before the first of a month.
The student teacher must send a written resignation to the employing unit and SDU HR.
