The Life-course Savings Scheme allows you to put aside a monthly portion of your gross income. The University deposits this money in a special life course account. You may also save your holiday allowance, end-of-year bonus, additional bonuses or any other incidental income. The money you save via the your life course scheme can be used to finance unpaid leave.
