Travel During Dissertation

If I hold a tier 4 student visa, am I allowed to travel for extended periods of time during my post grad dissertation term? As far as I'm aware, as long as I do not miss any classes (there will be none that term) or meetings I can leave and reenter the UK as I please while my visa is active.

Is there a maximum amount of time a visa holder can stay outside of the UK during the dissertation term? If one were to leave for two months and return would the airport boarder officers have any concerns? I'm considering visiting family for several weeks awhile working on my dissertation.

These are questions for the university sponsoring your visa. It depends what engagement they expect from you during this time. Given the current pandemic with so many students studying by distance learning, it seems highly unlikely to be an issue, but do ask.

No.
