A Special Studies Program (SSP) is available to all academic staff for a period of release from normal duties to engage in research or other scholarly work or to undertake a project related to teaching or to academic administration.
Financial assistance is provided to staff undertaking SSP including contributions towards airfares for the staff member and their family, as well as living expenses.
Eligibility is granted at the discretion of the Dean of the faculty. However, the application is forwarded through the Head of School.
An SSP is normally of six months, but applications for periods of between six weeks and twelve months will be considered where an appropriate case is made.
