Feedback

Students can expect to receive an online feedback report from their supervisor each term.

Assessment

Thesis / Dissertation

Assessment for the PhD is by submission of a thesis and oral examination only. There is no standard format for the thesis in Mathematics (i.e., no prescribed word limit). Candidates should discuss the format appropriate to their topic with their supervisor.

The Mathematics Degree Committee oversees the examinations process and is responsible for approving the research title of the thesis, appointing examiners and scrutinising the reports of those examiners before making a decision on the outcome.
