academic leave

Professor's research break

Academic leave is a period during which a student or faculty member is formally excused from their regular duties or studies, typically to pursue research, recover from illness, address personal matters, or gain professional experience.

Students might take academic leave to deal with health issues or family obligations, while professors often use it for sabbaticals or visiting positions at other institutions.
