Integrated Assessment:
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) thesis must demonstrate the candidate’s ability to apply relevant scientific methodologies in a specific topic of his/her choice and to carry out research at international level required for PhD qualification in the subject area in Mathematical Sciences. A department assessment committee oversees the implementation of all the PhD processes and ensures that formal requirements for the qualification which underpin academic merit of the thesis in question have been met.

The assessment of the thesis is in two major components. Once the thesis is ready it must be marked by both internal and external examiners in accordance with the school’s regulations. Secondly, a public defence is conducted to conclude the assessment process.

Finally, the School’s assessment committee makes its recommendations to the university assessment committee which then makes the final recommendations to SENEX for approval.
