STUDENTS

To support students seeking to take parental leave, the University's Student Maternity, Paternity and Adoption Leave Policy (http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/shw/childcare/) provides details of the arrangements for undergraduate, postgraduate taught, postgraduate research and overseas students who are about to have or adopt a child.

For information about maternity and paternity leave for students from the Mathematical Institute, please refer to:

Additionally, different scholarships have different rules on maternity leave for their funded students.
