Study Leave

Study Leave is managed as per the All Wales HEIW Policy

As Study Leave allocation can vary year by year we advise that you contact the Study Leave Administrator to confirm your individual allocation.

Study Leave is defined as leave granted for postgraduate purposes and approved by the UHB and includes study (usually but not exclusively or necessarily on a course), research or taking examinations.
