Hi paulasbrito. I think the best thing would be to speak to your research office and get a document showing the number of days you can take off in a year. This is different at each university. I have 35 working days holiday a year. I've never had a chance to use any of my holidays yet (just entered the 3rd year) but the great thing is, when the University is on a term break, I feel like it is holiday for me too .
