INTRODUCTION
W elcome to The University of Auckland. This Calendar provides details of the University regulations and
programmes, together with general information about the University and its staff, and the facilities and
services which are available to staff and students.
Planning a Programme
This Calendar contains the regulations and requirements for each faculty’s degrees,
diplomas and certificates. It is important that students read the regulations for the
programme they plan to take and ensure that they complete the prerequisites required
for subsequent study. The details for each course are listed by faculty, in alphanumeric
order in the Course Prescriptions, followed by a summary of course availability for 2010.
In addition, there is a range of Interfaculty and Conjoint degrees which are administered
and supervised across the faculties. Students planning a programme are also advised
to consult faculty and departmental handbooks and seek advice about programmes
and course options through the faculty offices and student centres. Intending students
should phone 0800 61 62 63 or visit www.auckland.ac.nz for general advice and for
information on how to access more specific course advice from faculties.

Examination
10 The oral examination will take place during the period in which the creative work is being examined

9n, 9o(i) and 9q of the Statute for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2008 will not apply, and:
a Both of the examiners appointed under clause 9d of the Statute for the Degree of Doctor of
Philosophy 2008 must be able to attend the examination.
b Each examiner will be provided with a copy of the written submission, and is to independently
examine the creative work prior to the oral examination.
c The following procedure will apply to the oral examination, and replaces that of clause 9m of the
Statute for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2008:
(i) The Head of School (or nominee) will arrange this examination, to take place after the
examiners have completed their independent examinations but during the period in which
the creative work is available for examination and on or near the site of that work.
(ii) The Board of Graduate Studies, on the recommendation of the Head of School, will appoint
a person to act as an independent chair of the oral examination. The chair must be a
member of the academic staff of the University, but will not normally be a member of the
faculty in which the candidate is registered.
(iii) The examination must be attended by the candidate, both examiners, the chair and the
Head of School nominee on the Examination Committee.
d Acting independently, each examiner will provide the Graduate Centre, within two months of
the date of the oral examination, with a written report in English on the quality of the thesis
according to the criteria outlined in clause 1c above. The examiners will include with their
reports one of the following recommendations:
(i) to award the degree
or
(ii) to permit the candidate to revise the thesis and resubmit it for examination on one further
occasion only
or
(iii) not to award the degree.

made according to Regulation 5 of the General Regulations for Named Doctorates.
Transitional Arrangements
14 a These regulations came into force on 1 January 2006. The 2005 regulations for the Degree of
Doctor of Fine Arts were thereby repealed.
b For a candidate initially registered under earlier regulations for this degree the Board of
Graduate Studies may agree to vary the application of the provisions of this statute to ensure
consistency with the provisions of the regulations under which the candidate was enrolled where
it is satisfied that the candidate would otherwise be at a disadvantage.

12 Senate is to consider the Moderator’s report and decide whether to proceed with the examination.
13 Where it is agreed that the examination is to proceed:
a Senate is to appoint two independent external examiners of whom at least one is normally
resident outside New Zealand, without being restricted to the persons recommended under
Regulation 11b.
b Senate may appoint an additional examiner who may be a member of the teaching staff of The

examination is not to proceed the candidate is entitled to a refund of half of the fees paid.
Moderator or the Head of School of Music, as appropriate, is to submit to Senate the name of a
further person qualified to act as an Examiner. Senate is then to appoint the person so named or
some other suitable person to be an additional Examiner who is to furnish an independent report in

Preamble
1 A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts is required to pursue an approved programme of
advanced study and research as an enrolled student of the University.
2 The degree of Doctor of Musical Arts is awarded for the successful pursuit of a coherent programme
of advanced performance work that is firmly supported by a written submission (the “Exegesis”) and
carried out over the period of registration for the Degree, which in the opinion of the examiners and
the Board of Graduate Studies satisfies both the following criteria:
a the consistent exhibition of performance skills at the highest professional levels
and
b the provision of supporting documentation (the “Exegesis”) that makes an original contribution
to the field of knowledge relating to Music Performance, and shows an ability to articulate critical
judgment and performance theory, while demonstrating a knowledge of the literature relevant
to the history and performing practice of the music contained in the candidate’s examinable
programmes.
3 All research for the Exegesis is to be conducted in accordance with The University of Auckland
Guidelines for the Conduct of Research.
Eligibility
4 A candidate for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts is required to have:
a completed the requirements for the Degree of Master of Music of this University with First Class
Honours or Second Class Honours First Division, unless an equivalent qualification is approved
by Senate under the Admission Regulations
and
b demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Head of the School of Music, in consultation with the
School of Music Postgraduate Committee, the level of training and ability that is necessary for
the pursuit of a programme of advanced study in music performance and research.
Admission
5 Admission Essential
Every candidate for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts must have applied for admission and have
been admitted to The University of Auckland.
Registration
7 a The Board of Graduate Studies, on the recommendation of the Dean of the Faculty of Creative
Arts and Industries, is to determine whether the candidate may be registered and the date of
registration.
b Conditions of registration will be determined in accordance with Clause 1 of the General
Regulations for Named Doctorates.
Reviews of Progress
8 Reviews of progress and continuation of registration will be made according to Clause 2 of the General
Regulations for Named Doctorates.
Submission
14 a Three months prior to the date of the Final Recital a candidate must apply in writing to be
examined, through the Graduate Centre.
b The application is to include details of the programme, as approved by the Head of School of
Music, in accordance with Clause 10b. If a candidate has reason to believe that any person
would be unsuitable to serve as an examiner on the grounds of conflict of interest, he or she
may also submit to the Graduate Centre at this time the name of this person or persons and a
statement in writing as to the nature of the conflict of interest.
c Two months prior to the date of the Final Recital, the candidate must submit to the Graduate
Centre three bound copies of the Exegesis, and a signed, statutory declaration, stating that the
submission is the candidate’s own work and that no part of the Exegesis has been submitted
or accepted for any other degree or diploma. The Exegesis is to be presented in English unless
otherwise approved by the Board of Graduate Studies at the time of first registration.
Examination
15 a The final examination will take the Exegesis and the Final Recital into joint consideration, and
will include an Oral Examination, which will normally be held on the day following the Final
Recital.
b The Exegesis will be examined by two external examiners of international expertise and
distinction, both of whom will be appointed by the Board of Graduate Studies on the
140 REGULATIONS
recommendation of the Head of the School of Music and one of whom will usually be resident
overseas.
c Each examiner will be provided with a copy of the Exegesis which is to be examined
independently and reported on to the Board of Graduate Studies prior to the Final Recital, which
both examiners must attend.
d In their assessment of the Exegesis, the examiners will indicate whether it is of an acceptable
standard, either as it stands or subject to minor corrections; examiners may also indicate a
provisional assessment, to be confirmed or otherwise at the time of the Final Recital and Oral
Examination.
e The Final Recital will be examined by a panel that includes the two external examiners and an
internal moderator, who must not have taken any role in any part of the supervision of the DMA,
and is to be nominated by the Head of the School of Music. The recital is to be recorded in both
sound (CD) and vision (DVD or video).
f The Board of Graduate Studies, on the recommendation of the Head of School of Music, will
appoint a person to act as an independent chair of the Oral Examination. The chair must be a
member of the academic staff of the University, but will not normally be a member of the faculty
in which the candidate is registered.
g The Oral Examination must be attended by the candidate, both external examiners, the chair,
and the internal moderator. This Examination, but not the examiners’ discussion, must also be
recorded in sound.
Examiners’ Reports
16 a Within one month of the date of the Oral Examination, each examiner will submit to the Graduate
Centre a written report in English on the quality of the whole examination performance, covering
the Final Recital, Exegesis and the Oral Examination. The examiners will include with their
reports one of the following recommendations:
(i) to award the degree
or
(ii) to permit the candidate to revise the Exegesis and resubmit it for examination on one
further occasion only
and/or
(iii) to permit the candidate to repeat the Final Recital within a period of not less than six
months and not more than 12 months
or
(iv) not to award the degree.
b On completion of the examination the candidate must deposit three hardbound copies of the
Exegesis and the audio and video recordings of the Final Recital with the Graduate Centre. The
degree will not be conferred until this requirement has been complied with.
Appeals
18 Appeals regarding the examination process or decisions of the Board of Graduate Studies must be
made according to Clause 5 of the General Regulations for Named Doctorates.
Transitional Arrangements
19 a This statute came into force on 1 January 2007 and revokes the previous regulations for the
Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts.
b For a candidate initially registered under earlier regulations for this degree the Board of
Graduate Studies may agree to vary the application of the provisions of this Statute to ensure
consistency with the provisions of the regulations under which the candidate was enrolled.

REGULATIONS
Statute for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy – PhD
Preamble
1 a Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy are required to pursue an approved programme
of advanced study and research as enrolled students of the University. The demands of PhD
research require a significant commitment by candidates in terms of time and resources, and
candidates are normally expected to be working full-time on their doctoral research.
b It is expected that this programme will usually be completed within three to four years of full-
time candidature. Part-time candidature may also be permitted.
c Upon completion of an approved programme of research, the PhD will be awarded to a
candidate:
(i) whose submitted thesis meets the requirements set out in Clause 1d
and
(ii) who has satisfied the examiners in an oral examination and any other examination that
may be required on the subject of the thesis and on relevant matters in the field or fields
to which the subject belongs.
d The PhD degree is awarded for a formal and systematic exposition of a coherent programme
of advanced research work carried out over the period of registration for the Degree which in
the opinion of the examiners and the Board of Graduate Studies satisfies all of the following
criteria:
(i) to be an original contribution to knowledge or understanding in its field
and
(ii) to meet internationally recognised standards for such work
and
(iii) to demonstrate a knowledge of the literature relevant to the subject and the field or fields
to which the subject belongs, and the ability to exercise critical and analytical judgement
of it
and
(iv) to be satisfactory in its methodology, in the quality and coherence of its written expression,
and in its scholarly presentation and format.
e PhD theses may not exceed 100,000 words in total without the prior permission of the Board of
Graduate Studies.
f Where a thesis includes published research papers and/or case studies, published or
unpublished, these must be fully integrated into the subject matter and text of the thesis and
be listed in the bibliography.
g All material which is not the original work of the author of the thesis must
(i) be fully and appropriately attributed
or
(ii) if a substantial part of another work, only be reproduced with the written permission of
the copyright owner of that other work.
h All research for the thesis is to be conducted in accordance with The University of Auckland
Guidelines for the Conduct of Research.
Eligibility
2 Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy are required to have:
a (i) completed the requirements for the award of a masters degree with First Class or Second
Class (Division I) Honours at The University of Auckland
314 REGULATIONS
or
(ii) completed the requirements for the award of a Bachelors degree with First Class or Second
Class (Division I) Honours at The University of Auckland
or
(iii) completed all the taught course work requirements (if any) for a Masters degree of The
University of Auckland at the equivalent of First Class or Second Class (Division I) Honours
level, and have made substantial progress towards completion of the Masters research

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY AND HIGHER DEGREES 315
and
if the Head of Department is of that opinion, then:
(ii) whether their Department (in conjunction with any other Department where the field
of study is interdisciplinary, or other university in the case of jointly awarded degrees)
accepts the responsibility for:
(a) making satisfactory supervision arrangements over the whole course of the PhD
and
(b) providing adequate research resources and facilities
and
(iii) whether the field of study is interdisciplinary, and if so, which other Departments will
be involved. In these cases, the Heads of any other Departments involved are required to
endorse the recommendation
and
(iv) nominate suitably qualified supervisors and, where appropriate, advisers
and
(v) in the case of a candidate in a Department of Languages and Literatures, or a candidate
for whom joint registration with another university in a non-English speaking country is

(Postgraduate) will make a recommendation in writing to the Board of Graduate Studies as to
the matters set out in Clause 4h.
j Role of the Board of Graduate Studies
On receipt of the recommendation of the Faculty Associate Dean (Postgraduate), the Board of
Graduate Studies will decide whether or not to register the candidate and, if so, the conditions
which will apply to the registration. The Board of Graduate Studies may call for any further
information it considers relevant before making its decision.
k Date of Registration
Registration takes effect on the date (the ‘Date of Registration’) approved by the Board of
Graduate Studies. Where a candidate has already started supervised research on the PhD topic
the Date of Registration may be backdated by not more than six months, except for a candidate
transferring from a masters degree under Clause 2a(iii), when the Date of Registration may be
backdated not earlier than the date on which the course work component (if any) of the masters
degree was completed.
l Supervision
The Board of Graduate Studies will appoint the supervisors for each candidate. The supervisors
must be actively involved in research in the candidate’s general field, and must either hold
a doctoral degree or be appropriately qualified and experienced. Persons who are themselves
candidates for the degree of PhD may not be appointed as supervisors, although they may be
appointed as advisers.

the registration
and
(ii) complete a full thesis proposal, including a provisional title, a schedule of research, an
outline of the thesis structure and a statement of the resources required to complete
the research. The thesis proposal should be submitted for approval to the appropriate
postgraduate committee of the Department, Institute and/or Faculty in which the
candidate is registered. The committee may accept the proposal, or indicate changes
needed to the candidate and supervisor/s and request a resubmission, or it may decline
to accept the proposal. It will inform the Head of Department of its decision.
b Provisional Review
At the end of the 12 months of provisional registration, the supervisor/s and the Head of
Department are to submit a formal report to the Board of Graduate Studies on the progress
of the candidate. The report should clearly state whether or not the progress of the candidate
has been satisfactory, the goals laid down for the provisional year have been achieved and the
candidate’s research proposal has been approved according to Clause 5a(ii). The report should

of Graduate Studies must include a copy of the candidate’s full thesis proposal and provisional
title.
d Annual Review of Registration
In each year of registration each candidate must pursue a programme of advanced study and
research to the satisfaction of the Head of Department and the main supervisor. At the end of
each year of registration following the provisional period, the main supervisor, the candidate
and the Head of Department are to submit, through the Associate Dean (Postgraduate) of the
Faculty, a joint report to the Board of Graduate Studies on the candidate’s progress. As part of
this report the main supervisor and the Head of Department are to make one of the following
recommendations:

prescribed Building Levy and Student Services fees and any other fees as may be prescribed
from time to time. There is no refund of these fees.
e Fees to be Paid before Thesis is Accepted
No thesis will be accepted for examination unless outstanding fees have been paid for the
academic year in which a candidate is registered.
f Other Fees Payable
Candidates who enrol for courses other than those required as part of their programme for the
PhD Degree must pay the fees prescribed for those courses on enrolment.
g Termination of Registration
The Board of Graduate Studies may terminate the registration of any candidate who:
(i) fails to enrol for any academic year corresponding to a year of registration

Before making a decision to terminate a candidate’s registration pursuant to this clause or
otherwise, the Board of Graduate Studies will allow the candidate a reasonable opportunity to
respond.
Submission
8 a Copies of Thesis
All candidates are initially required to submit three copies of the thesis to the Graduate Centre.
The thesis should have a temporary binding and a statement to examiners as specified in the
Guide to Theses and Dissertations.
b Time for Submission
Unless permitted to do otherwise by the Board of Graduate Studies under Clause 7e, a candidate
must normally submit the thesis in not less than three and not more than four years from
the Date of Registration if they are full-time students, or not less than six and not more than
eight years in the case of candidates who have been registered as part-time students for the
whole period of their registration. In the case of candidates who have been permitted to change
between full-time and part-time, the submission times will be calculated on a pro rata basis.
c Notification of Submission
Three months prior to the expected date of submission, candidates should notify the Graduate
Centre in writing of their intention to submit. If the candidate has reason to believe that any
person would be unsuitable to serve as an examiner of the thesis on the grounds of conflict of
interest, he or she may also submit at this time the name of this person and a statement in
writing as to the nature of the conflict of interest to the Graduate Centre.
d Declaration as to Originality
The thesis is to be accompanied by a statutory declaration, signed by the candidate, stating
that the thesis is the candidate’s own work and that neither the thesis nor any part of it has
been submitted or accepted for any other degree or diploma and that written permission has
been obtained for any third-party copyright material reproduced in the thesis that represents a
‘substantial part’ of the other work.
e Where the thesis contains jointly authored research papers, case studies and/or any other work,
published or unpublished, the declaration is to state the extent to which the jointly authored
material is the candidate’s own work. Evidence that all co-authors have approved the inclusion
of the joint work must be supplied.
f Statement from Supervisors
When the thesis is submitted, the Graduate Centre will invite a statement from the supervisor/s
regarding the context or outcome of the thesis research. This statement must be endorsed by
the Head of Department and the candidate. The Graduate Centre will forward a copy of the
statement to the Chair of the Examination Committee for its consideration.
g Language of Thesis
The thesis is to be presented in English unless otherwise approved by the Board of Graduate
Studies at the time of first registration of the candidate.
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY AND HIGHER DEGREES 319
Examination
9 a General Provisions
The Head of Department and/or the Associate Dean (Postgraduate) of the Faculty may nominate
another person to the Board of Graduate Studies to be authorised to act in his or her place
in all of the provisions of this Clause 9. If either the Head of Department or the Associate
Dean (Postgraduate) is a supervisor of the candidate, an alternate must be nominated and
appointed.
b Neither the supervisors nor the candidate may communicate with the examiners regarding the
examination at any stage of the examination process, except as specified in this Clause 9.
c Nomination of Examiners
On notification of submission or intent to submit under Clause 8c, the Head of Department will
nominate at least two suitably qualified persons to the Board of Graduate Studies for selection
as examiners. The nominees should each hold a doctoral degree, or have equivalent expertise
and experience, and be expert in the field of study which is the subject of the thesis. At least one
nominee should be from outside New Zealand. The examiners may not be staff members of the
University or have been involved in either the thesis research or the preparation of the thesis.
d Appointment of Examiners
The Board of Graduate Studies will consider the nominations provided by the Head of
Department and any submissions made by the candidate under the provisions of Clause 8c and
will appoint two suitably qualified persons who are available to act as examiners. One examiner
(the Oral Examiner) must be able to attend the oral examination and will normally be resident
in New Zealand or Australia.
e Appointment of Examination Committee
The Board of Graduate Studies will also appoint an Examination Committee which will normally
be composed of:
(i) the Head of Department
and
(ii) an Associate Dean (Postgraduate), who will Chair the Examination Committee
and
(iii) one other person (‘the Head of Department Nominee’) nominated by the Head of
Department. This person will have thorough knowledge of the general field of the thesis,
but not necessarily of the thesis topic, and will normally be a staff member of the
University.
No member of the Examination Committee may be a supervisor or have been involved in either
the thesis research or the preparation of the thesis. The Associate Dean will normally be
from the same Faculty as the candidate, but if that person is in the same Department as the
candidate then an Associate Dean from another Faculty should be substituted.
f Examiners’ Reports
As suppliers of evaluative material in terms of the Privacy Act 1993, all examiners will be
informed that the information and reports they supply as such will be held in confidence to
supervisors and to persons involved in the formal examination process. Candidates will not be
informed of the names, or other identifying information, of their examiners, except that of the
Oral Examiner.
g Each examiner will be provided with a copy of the thesis and, acting independently, is required
to provide the Graduate Centre, within two months of receipt of the thesis, with a written report
in English on the quality of the thesis according to the criteria outlined in Clause 1d. One copy
of the thesis will be provided to the Examination Committee.
h The examiners will include with their reports one of the following recommendations:
(i) to award the degree.
The thesis can be passed without any further amendment or correction. Sometimes
examiners may wish to include a list of suggested amendments for the candidate to use
when publishing the material.
or
(ii) to award the degree after specified minor corrections have been made to the thesis to
the satisfaction of the Oral Examiner or Nominee, who may be the Main Supervisor, by a
specified date.
This recommendation can be made when the thesis has reached the required standard
but for minor problems such as inconsistency in terminology, referencing problems, or
typographical errors. When these are corrected, the thesis will meet the standard and then
will be ready for permanent binding and placement in the Library.
320 REGULATIONS
or
(iii) (a) to award the degree subject to revising part or parts of the thesis to the satisfaction
of the Oral Examiner or Nominee, who will be the Head of Department, by a specified
date.
This recommendation is made when the Examiner concludes that the revisions
required are not minor, but are substantive including re-analysis of data, or rewriting
of chapters, or corrections of significant lapses in logic or coherence. The nature of
the revisions must be such that, when the Head of Department acts as the nominee of
the Oral Examiner, he or she can certify that compliance has been achieved. In such
cases, the Head of Department may discuss the revisions with the Head of Department
nominee on the Examination Committee and/or Main Supervisor. These changes can
normally be made within a 3-6 month period.
or
(b) to award the degree subject to revising part or parts of the thesis to the satisfaction
of the Examiner by a specified date.
This recommendation is made when the Examiner concludes that the revisions
required are not minor, but are substantive including re-analysis of data, or rewriting
of chapters, or corrections of significant lapses in logic or coherence. The nature of the
revisions must be such that subject-specific knowledge is required and the Examiner
wishes to see and approve the changes. These changes can normally be made within
a 3-6 month period.
or
(iv) to permit the candidate to revise the thesis and resubmit it for examination on one further
occasion only.
This recommendation is made when the Examiner concludes that the thesis is not yet
of PhD standard. It will require either further research, rewriting of specific sections,
reconceptualisation, and/or reorganisation in order to reach the required PhD standard.
The candidate will be permitted to resubmit, normally within a 12 month period.
or
(v) not to award the degree.
This recommendation is made when the Examiner is of the opinion that the thesis has
substantive flaws incompatible with the requirements of a PhD.
i Replacement of Examiners
If a report has not been received within two months, the Graduate Centre will send a reminder to
the examiner and advise him or her that unless the report is received within two further months
the appointment as examiner will lapse. If the report has not been received within two months of
the date of the reminder, the Board of Graduate Studies may appoint a replacement examiner.
j Consideration of Examiners’ Reports
Upon receipt of both of the examiners’ reports, the Graduate Centre will provide copies for
consideration by the Examination Committee. The examiners’ reports will also be made available
to the supervisor/s on a confidential basis. Supervisor/s may comment on the reports in writing
to the Examination Committee on a confidential basis. The Examination Committee may also
request clarification of issues raised in examiners’ reports from the examiners and, if necessary,
from supervisors. If the recommendations of the examiners are in conflict and the Examination
Committee considers that the conflict may be resolved, the Chair may invite the two examiners
to consult and to provide a written report or reports on the outcome of their consultations.
k Recommendation of the Examination Committee
The Examination Committee will then make a report to the Board of Graduate Studies
which includes the nature and outcome of any communications with the examiners and/or
supervisor/s made under Clause 9j and which recommends one of the following:
(i) to appoint one or more further independent Examiners to report on any areas of conflict
or
(ii) to proceed to the Oral Examination
or
(iii) to permit the candidate to revise the thesis and resubmit it for examination on one further
occasion only
or
(iv) not to award the degree.
l Further Examiners
In the event that the examiners’ reports are in serious conflict the Board of Graduate Studies
may appoint further independent external examiners to report on any matters which it may
specify. In this event the candidate will be kept informed, and Clauses 9f to 9i will apply for the
reports of the further examiners.
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY AND HIGHER DEGREES 321
m Oral Examination
In the event that the Board of Graduate Studies accepts a recommendation to proceed to an oral
examination, the following procedures will apply:
(i) The Head of Department will arrange this examination.
(ii) The Board of Graduate Studies, on the recommendation of the Head of Department, will
appoint a person to act as an independent Chair of the oral examination. The Chair must
be a member of the academic staff of the University, but will not normally be a member of
a faculty in which the candidate is registered.
(iii) The examination must be attended by the candidate, the Oral Examiner, the Chair and the
Head of Department nominee on the Examination Committee.
(iv) The Graduate Centre will forward copies of the examiners’ reports to the supervisor/s. The
main supervisor may attend the oral examination, but will not act as an examiner and may
only participate to the extent requested by the Chair.
(v) During the oral examination, the Oral Examiner and Head of Department nominee will
discuss with the candidate the subject of the thesis and relevant matters in the field or
fields to which the subject belongs. The Oral Examiner will discuss with the candidate
issues raised in the examiners’ reports and ask questions of the candidate on behalf of the
other examiner.
n Recommendation of the Oral Examination
On completion of the oral examination, the Chair will provide a written report and
recommendation, endorsed by the Head of Department nominee and the Oral Examiner, to the
Board of Graduate Studies. The report will include one of the following recommendations:
either
(i) to award the degree
or
(ii) to award the degree after specified minor corrections have been made to the thesis to the
satisfaction of the Oral Examiner or nominee, who may be the Main Supervisor, and by a
specified date
or
(iii) (a) to award the degree subject to revising part or parts of the thesis to the satisfaction
of the Oral Examiner or Nominee, who will be the Head of Department, by a specified
date
or
(b) to award the degree subject to revising part or parts of the thesis to the satisfaction
of the Examiner or Examiners by a specified date
or
(iv) to permit the candidate to revise the thesis and resubmit it for examination on one further
occasion only, but only if the candidate has not already been permitted to revise and
resubmit under Clause 9k (iii)
or
(v) not to award the degree.
In the case of recommendations (iii) and (iv), the report must also state clearly the nature of the
revisions recommended.
o When Revision and Resubmission are Permitted
In the event that the Board of Graduate Studies requires the candidate to revise the thesis for
resubmission, either prior to or following an oral examination, the following provisions apply:
(i) If an oral examination has already been held, a copy of the report of the oral examination
will be sent to the Examination Committee.
(ii) The Examination Committee will agree on the date by which the thesis is to be resubmitted
and the nature of the revisions recommended, and will convene a meeting with the
candidate and supervisors to discuss these revisions. Both the revisions and the date are
then to be reported in writing by the Chair of the Examination Committee to the Graduate
Centre for approval by the Board of Graduate Studies and formal communication to the
candidate. The date of resubmission may not be more than 12 months from the date of
the oral examination or, in the case of a recommendation under Clause 9k(iii), not more
than 12 months from the date the examiners’ reports were forwarded to the Examination
Committee by the Graduate Centre.
(iii) The candidate is required to enrol and pay the prescribed tuition and research fees from
the month in which the decision was made to the month by which the thesis is to be
resubmitted. The registration of the candidate is to continue under the conditions applying
at the first date of submission.
(iv) If the thesis is not resubmitted by the prescribed date, the registration of the candidate
will normally be terminated.
(v) Upon resubmission, the revised thesis is to be examined as a whole by the same examiners
322 REGULATIONS
in accordance with the provisions of this Clause, excepting that a further resubmission may
not be recommended and that the Examination Committee may recommend that a second
oral examination not be held. If one or both of the original examiners is unavailable to
re-examine the thesis the Board of Graduate Studies will appoint alternative examiners.
(vi) Upon receipt of both of the examiners’ reports, the Graduate Centre will provide copies
of the new examiners’ reports, the original examiners’ reports and the oral examination
(if held) to the Examination Committee and to the supervisor/s on a confidential
basis. The procedure followed by the Examination Committee will be that in Clause 9j.
Following consideration of all examiners’ reports the Examination Committee will make a
report to the Board of Graduate Studies which includes the nature and outcome of any
communications with the examiners and/or supervisor/s made under Clause 9j. In the
case where an oral examination has not already been held the Examination Committee
report must recommend that either an oral examination be held or the degree not be
awarded. In the case where an oral examination has previously been held the Examination
Committee report must recommend one of the following:
(a) to proceed to a second oral examination
or
(b) to award the degree
or
(c) to award the degree after specified minor corrections have been made to the thesis to
the satisfaction of the Oral Examiner or Nominee, who may be the Main Supervisor,
by a specified date
or
(d) not to award the degree.
p Final Decision
After considering all of the reports of the examiners and the Examination Committee the Board
of Graduate Studies will make the final decision as to the award of the degree.
q Copies for Deposit
(i) On successful completion of the examination, candidates who first registered in a PhD
programme prior to 1 January 2007 will be required to deposit either, three hardbound
copies of the thesis or, two hardbound copies and one digital copy of the thesis, corrected
