Request

Request Received: 13 March 2023

I would like to make a FoI release request on the amount of students funded by UKRI grants who request an interruption for their studentship. In particular, I would be interested in finding out what percentage of interruptions last 4 months or less, a breakdown by percentage of reasons for interruption (un/paid sick leave, parental leave, internship etc), and how many sick leave interruptions take longer than 4 months. Additionally, I would like to know which percentage of students who receive an interruption apply for a second interruption during the duration of their programme. The FoI release should include every year for which UKRI keeps track of this data, up to the current academic year. I would prefer to receive the data electronically, to the current email address.
