Attend upcoming doctoral defences
This month, the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (SGPS) will begin adding information on doctoral oral defences to 萌妹社区’s .
What is a doctoral defence?
A PhD thesis must contain a substantial contribution of new knowledge to a field of study, present the results and an analysis of original research, and be significant enough to be published. Once the thesis is complete, students must undergo a formal and demanding oral examination by an examining committee, usually with at least one member from outside the university.
Who can attend?
Doctoral defences are open to the public (unless otherwise indicated). Faculty, staff and students are welcome to attend.
For more information, visit the section of the SGPS website.
