Research Supervisor Guidelines for Thesis Submission and Examination

There are a number of steps regarding submission and examination that the Principal Supervisor should be aware of when students are within the last year of their doctorate. It is important that you familiarise yourself with the regulations and protocols surrounding the nomination of examiners, dates for examination committees (ACCE), viva voce norms and so on.

The e-Thesis Examination System is UCD’s secure online system through which research students can submit their research thesis for examination. The system enables electronic thesis submission, author verification, programme compliance check, and progress tracking through all stages of the process.
