I have to resubmit my thesis, what happens next?

The Chair of your viva is responsible for ensuring that you receive written and clear feedback on your viva and the points that have been addressed prior to resubmission.  This information should be given to you on the day of the viva or very soon thereafter. Both copies of your thesis should also be returned to you.

 

Once the Graduate School has received the Official Report from your department we will write to you confirming your result.

 

The Academic Registry will write to you with your official results letter. The letter will confirm your latest resubmission date and the required re-submission fee. At this time you will also receive a copy of the Joint Report of the examiners.  Your student record will be updated to reflect your re-submission deadline.

 

It is important to keep in contact with your supervisor and your department to ensure that you make all the modifications to the thesis with are required by your examiners.  You should also ensure that your supervisor has the opportunity to see the fully-revised thesis and to give you comments on it before it is re-submitted.

 

When you resubmit your thesis you will need to complete another intention to submit form  and the same submission documents as you did for your first submission.

 

The same administrative procedures apply to resubmission as to the first submission, including completion of an intention to submit form and the dispatch of theses by the Graduate School.

 

The decision to waive a viva can only be made once the re-submitted thesis has been reviewed by the examiners, who are satisfied that the required changes have been made. If this is not so, then the viva may only be waived in exceptional circumstances and with the approval of the Head of the Graduate School.
