Getting your result

Following your viva, the internal examiner will upload a joint examination report to eProg.

This report will not be visible to either you or your supervisors until the recommendation has been ratified by the Research Degrees Panel.

The Doctoral Academy will write to you regarding the examiner's recommendations. If corrections are required, full details of these will be attached. For all recommendations a further electronic submission will be required.  

Please note: The University no longer requires that final hard bound copies of your thesis be submitted following successful examination.

Results and corrections

Ai – No corrections – a final post-examination copy of your thesis must be submitted to eThesis before a result will be published.

Aii – Minor corrections must be completed within four weeks and exceptionally no more than 12 weeks, of receiving notification of the recommendation. Corrections must be seen and approved by your internal examiner. A final corrected copy of your thesis must be submitted to eThesis before a result will be published.

Resubmission

If your thesis is recommended for resubmission, the Doctoral Academy will write to you with full details of the resubmission process and the timescale for resubmission.
