As a postgraduate research (PGR) student, can I take a retrospective temporary withdrawal from my studies?

Retrospective applications for temporary withdrawal from your postgraduate research (PGR) programme will not be considered except in exceptional circumstances, and a compelling evidence-based case will need to be made that the delay was beyond your control.

Please email the Research Degrees Programme Management team at researchdegrees@surrey.ac.uk for guidance before making your request.
