- In July and/or August of each study year, doctoral students are granted a continuous vacation of at least one month ( the total duration of the vacation is not more than 2 months ). Leave can be granted at other times, if the supervisor of the doctoral student agrees (p. 52 of the Doctoral Studies Regulation).
- For important reasons (childbirth, childcare leave, illness of the doctoral student, etc.), a doctoral student may take an academic leave.
- Once during the period of study, the doctoral student, upon agreement with the supervisor of the doctoral student, has the right to take an academic leave of no longer than one year of study (12 months) for personal reasons.
- A doctoral student who wishes to take an academic leave must submit a request, endorsed by the doctoral student's supervisor, to the FTMC Doctoral School (room D412/D409, doktorantura@ftmc.lt or kristina.pauskaite@ftmc.lt). An example of a request to issue an academic leave is provided in the webpage of FTMC, section: Studies/Documents/Other documents (https://www.ftmc.lt/dokumentai-3). The text of the request can be filled in English.
- The beginning of the academic leave always coincides with the first day of a certain month, and the end - with the last day of the corresponding month, therefore this should be taken into account when specifying the start and end dates of the academic leave in the request.
- The time when the doctoral student is on academic leave is not included in the duration of the studies. The payment of the scholarship is suspended during the academic leave.
