The subject of holidays is something we get asked about time and time again.
Whilst studying on a student visa all courses allow scheduled breaks. This is perfect for international students!
During the school holidays you have the option to work full time or you can use this time to travel and go overseas. If you’re looking to take a holiday, this is the best time to go!
Here at Go Study we can help you schedule your course enrolment allowing you to maximise your holiday periods. We work closely with the schools to map out the best study plans and break options to suit you!
Holidays During Term Time
If you want to go away during term time, you will need to request permission from your college. Each circumstance will be looked at individually. A college is unlikely to grant you permission to go away for reason such as:- Financial issues
- Relationship problems
- Work related reasons
- Weddings
- Cultural and religious activities
- General holidays
Exceptional Circumstances
There are circumstances where your college will grant you permission for leave, this would be for medical, compassionate or compelling reasons, such as:- Serious illness or injury
- Serious illness or loss of a close family member
- Pregnancy or childbirth
- Political upheaval or natural disaster in your home country
- Reasons related to your visa processing being delayed
- Traumatic experiences- for example a student involved in or having witnessed a serious crime or accident
