Resubmission of Thesis

Where the examiner's recommendation is a full resubmission, the examiners' report will contain detailed advice on the required corrections and indicate whether the resubmission is with or without further oral examination.

Research Services will formally notify you of the requirement to resubmit by letter, and will also send you a copy of the examiners' report containing details of your corrections.

If you are required to resubmit your thesis, your time limit will automatically be extended by 12 months from the date of formal notification. You can request that your UCard is extended by SSiD in line with the new time limit on your record.

Resubmissions are charged a fee. For 2019/20, this is £335 for a resubmission without oral examination, and £410 for resubmission with oral examination.

At the end of the Resubmission period (12 months), you should resubmit your revised thesis directly to Research Services, following the same procedures as a first submission.

The title page and front cover of your revised thesis should be changed to show the date of resubmission, and it is recommended that a detailed list of the amendments that have been made following the first submission is included with the resubmitted thesis.

If a further oral examination is required, this should normally take place within 10 weeks of the examiners receiving the thesis.
