Research Student Annual Leave
Research students are encouraged to take a break from their programme of study, and UCC recommends a 20-day leave allowance per annum (full time, pro-rata part time). The dates and duration of annual leave must be discussed and agreed upon in advance of the leave with the Supervisory Team. This document provides guidance for students and staff on annual leave for research students.
