Proposal for public defence of doctoral thesis

Proposal for public defence of a doctoral thesis is prepared at the school. The proposal is then handled at the Faculty Office and the decision on the public defence is made by the chair of each faculty board (dean).

The proposal for the public defence of a doctoral thesis has the following components:

  • Request for a public defence (web form filled out by the doctoral student)
  • Details of the proposed public defence from the principal supervisor (word document filled out by the principal supervisor)
  • Decision by the head of school to submit the proposal for public defence (P360)

Date, time and venue for the public defence must be cleared with the research study administration team before a proposal for the event can be submitted using the web form. These details must be confirmed before the matter can be taken any further.
