Annual Leave

A 30 working day annual leave entitlement can be used at any point in the year with approval from your supervisor, although it is discouraged from doing so around progression.

For postgraduate research students, there is only one term. The dates of the term coincide with the academic year – please see the below link for further information. Leave for Christmas or Easter should be taken from the 30 day annual leave allocation. Public holidays, such as Christmas Day and Easter Monday, and weekends will not count towards this entitlement.

All annual leave must be agreed in advance and the appropriate online absence form completed via e:Vision if on a Tier 4 student visa. If you have trouble accessing the online form, contact the Student Office for further advice.
