* Viva Voce arrangements

If you require an early viva voce examination, eg because you have applied for a postdoctoral Fellowship, please send an email to explaining:
a) the date you intend to submit the thesis to the Board of Graduate Studies;

b) the reason for an early viva voce examination;

c) the date by which you wish the viva voce examination to be completed.

Your letter will be forwarded to the proposed examiners for their consideration.

Students are reminded that it is for the examiners to determine if they can accommodate such requests, especially external examiners, who are not members of the University of Cambridge.

The Degree Committee Office cannot guarantee that an early viva voce examination can be arranged.

Students are particularly advised that it may not be possible for examiners to grant the requestif there is less than 8 weeks between the expected submission date and the requested viva date.

** Expected submission date

Please think carefully about the expected submission date you enter.

Your examiners will be informed of this date and will expect to receive the thesis on/near that date.

It is advisable to add a couple of months to your expected submission date to allow for emergencies, eg, if you determine the expected submission dateto be May, put down July instead. Obviously, you cannot add on a couple of months if your expected submission date is the final end of registration (12th term) date.
