I am an EU student who has just accepted a home-funded PhD at a UK university. I just completed my 4-year undergrad degree in the UK in June. I am spending July,August, September on holiday and last visited the UK in late July (for 5 days). Will this absence from the UK (July, August and September) disqualify me for the studentship funding? I am a bit concerned as I would be shocked to lose my funding over something like this...

Hi, I think you should be fine, as you still spend most of the year in the UK.

Thanks! Is anyone sure there isn't any odd requirements I need? I thought perhaps I need a permanent address in the UK during these holidays or something?

Don't worry about it, it is fine! Enjoy your holiday! I know many funded people who moved-overseas for a few months for family/research and that was considered to be fine. And you are/will be spending most of your year in the Uk.
