Thesis corrections

Minor corrections and additional work on the thesis.

The Internal Examiner will certify corrections and the External Examiner may also ask to see corrections before the degree is awarded.

Minor corrections

After the viva, the examiners may ask students to make minor corrections to the thesis. These may be editorial corrections or to address minor weaknesses before the award is confirmed. Corrections will need to be submitted within three months (or four if a further oral exam is recommended).

Additional work

After the viva, the examiners may ask students to carry out additional work on the thesis, which may require further supervision. These corrections, which will be stipulated by the examiners, will entail more work than is required for minor corrections. The examiners will set the period within which this work must be submitted, but submission will normally be within six months.
