Finalising and Submitting your Thesis

This workshop covers the ‘nuts and bolts’ of dissertation submission.

It starts with a presentation by the responsible Graduate Research School (GRS) staff on the official procedures to be aware of and beware of: they will provide the guidelines, tips and more. The session will also focus on what examiners assume in terms of editing, tightening up the writing, formatting and abstracts.

Accordingly, the following 3 important areas will be covered via the GRS staff presentation, instructor/student discussions, and in-class exercises to apply the most important principles:

1. The Graduate Research School: What’s the Official Line?
2. Preparing your final draft (1) – key questions to consider
3. Preparing your final draft (2) – proofing & editing
