Annual Leave

You are entitled to eight weeks annual leave per annum. 

The amount of leave taken at any one time, the period of the academic year when it is taken, and the stage of PhD study at which it is taken must be agreed in consultation with the student’s Supervisor.  It is essential that students consult their supervisor before booking tickets for holidays. 

As you will also be taking taught courses, taught commitments should also be taken into consideration. 

Information about annual leave for Research Students can be found in the Code of Practice.

How to Apply

You do not need to formally request annual leave via the Precision Medicine team but it should be agreed in advance with your supervisor.
