Submission of Masters Thesis

Masters thesis and research portfolio submission changes as of 1 May 2013

Students whose due date for submission of their masters thesis or  research portfolio is 1 May 2013 should be aware that the submission process has changed. Students will need to submit three temporary-bound copies of their work and a digital copy to their faculty student centre. Students granted a short extension until 15 July will also follow this process. 

Faculty student centres will manage the examination process for masters thesis and research portfolios.

Students will be sent the substantive comments that their examiners have made, and thesis candidates will be able to make minor corrections to their work before having their thesis hard-bound and deposited in the University library.

All questions regarding this new process should be made at your faculty student centre.
