It is expected that the M.Sc. student's research will generate one first-author paper and a Ph.D. thesis will generate three first-author publications. Ph.D student are required to defend their thesis orally.

Students will no longer have to print hard copies of their thesis, but will instead submit an electronic copy via mythesis. More detailed information is available at /gps/thesis/guidelines/initial-submission. Should any examiner or member of a student's committee request a hardcopy of the thesis, the student must provide one to the relevant office making the request.

Thesis preparation and submission guidelines, submission deadline dates and requirerments can be found at:
/gps/thesis/guidelines.

Final corrected thesis is to be submitted electronically (e-thesis) see:
/gps/thesis/guidelines/final-submission

Convocation ceremonies are held twice a year; in the spring and fall. See
/students/graduation/.
