Annual Leave Guidelines for Research Students

Annual Leave Guidelines for Research Students 

Holidays can be taken at any time in each year but must be agreed in advance with the supervisor(s), bearing in mind a student’s individual funding terms and any teaching or research commitments. The normal holiday leave should be no more than 4 weeks in one calendar year. For international students who may be a great distance from home, it may mean that annual leave is either not availed of or very difficult and they may wish to take a single period of leave as opposed to a few shorter periods. Such arrangements should be discussed and agreed with the relevant supervisor(s) in advance.
