Examination reports must be approved by the Research Degrees Examination Results Approval Committee. You’ll be given a decision:

• pass
• pass subject to corrections and modifications to your thesis
• pass subject to substantial amendments to your thesis (but without re-examination)
• resubmission for re-examination after major revision of your thesis
• fail.

In exceptional cases a PhD candidate may be awarded an MPhil.

Resubmission

Only one resubmission is permitted (see Qualification Regulation RD 7.4). If you’re required to resubmit, you’ll be charged further registration fees, as explained in Section 5.1.
