#RishiCan this is not just a win for @RishiSunak (congrats! 🥳) but a win for BAME community! This shows how the #UK has evolved and become open-minded over the years. Now that’s a great example for any country. Talent will take you to places and not petty politics! Period!

@Axilzan @plannedscience @workingbnb It actually depends on the course and school. I’m pursuing my PhD in Manufacturing Engineering and I didn’t have any classes. But I know colleagues in other schools who had to take classes and pass exams along with the viva.

@Loxxosceles @PhDForum @PhDVoice One or Two weeks before and two weeks after

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

I don’t know how to decide, so I would like to know from your experience, is it okay to take leave for your wedding during your PhD? How did you all do? @PhDVoice #phdchat #phdlife #AcademicChatter

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@barbarajack14 @PhDForum @PhDVoice I didn’t use any of my official leave last year so yeah I can get two from there. Anyway, I’m going to have a chat with my supervisor panel tomorrow 🤞🏼Thank you!

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@barbarajack14 @PhDForum @PhDVoice I was thinking 3-4 weeks max! 1 or 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after wedding

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@MaryWoessner @PhDVoice Thank you 😊 I’m going to discuss this with my supervisors on Thursday. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@hireddivas @PhDVoice If you go through this thread you can see a lot of academics have done it. It’s more common than I thought as well. It’s never easy but life’s should go on…

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@Pingosaurus Haha it’s too good to be true! It totally depends on the whereabouts of your partner. In my case, we are in two different cities which takes more than 10 hrs to travel for each of us even to meet! But thanks for your encouragement ✌🏼

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@jruddchemist Great! I was earlier thinking two weeks before and two weeks after. May be I’ll cut it down to one week before and two weeks after

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@Anatonomicon Haha I would have loved that. But unfortunately I’m remotely working (WFH) these days

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@Dr_Electr0n @PhDVoice Nice to hear that ☺️✌🏼

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@ProfessorTanvir @PhDVoice Thank you Professor! I will look into that too

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@alrightPET @PhDVoice Appreciate your advice! The issue with us PhDs is that the workload is always there at the back of our mind. But yeah, it shouldn’t be like that!

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@alrightPET @PhDVoice Totally agree with you. Supervisors can make or break PhD students. I’ve heard so many stories but I’m lucky in that end!

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@alrightPET @PhDVoice I felt it that way too after posting but you can’t edit tweets unfortunately. Thanks Heather, my supervisor panel has been very reasonable so far!

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@alrightPET @PhDVoice I was also worried about how it might affect you (workload) afterwards. It is always good to learn from experience. Cheers!

[Deepesh Jayasekara @deepesh92]

@stranded_nomad @PhDVoice Appreciate it bro!
