Taking Leave
It is expected that students will take periods of leave from their studies in order to maintain an appropriate work life balance.
The University’s PGR annual leave policy is here: https://warwick.ac.uk/services/dc/support/wellbeing/annualleave/
Please note:
● If the student wishes to appeal a decision regarding annual leave, advice should be sought from the Director of Graduate Studies.
● The student’s programme includes taught modules and the student is required to attend all timetabled activities, including but not limited to lectures, seminars, workshops, assessments and examinations. Annual leave will not normally be granted during weeks with timetabled activities.
● Students are advised not to book flights or any holidays for which deposits or payment have to be made before the annual leave is approved.
● Where students add a period of annual leave to an overseas visit e.g. conference or project meeting, they will be responsible for meeting all the additional costs of travel, accommodation and subsistence incurred during their leave period.
● If a student is supported by a student visa, they must refer to the Immigration Team for advice prior to requesting a leave of absence as this may affect their visa. https://warwick.ac.uk/study/international/immigration/student_route/change
