Submission and evaluation
Steps to submission.
Students should be aware that in each term there is a cut-off date for submitting the thesis for evaluation. If the student misses this date, there are financial and possibly other consequences. Students are advised to verify applicable deadlines.
Prior to submitting the thesis, the student must have fulfilled all of the program's requirements and have submitted the list of examiners.
If the student is in a cotutelle arrangement, he or she should read their cotutelle agreement and check with the academic units of each institution regarding the submission procedures for both universities.
Examiners nomination arrow_drop_down
The list of examiners is proposed by the student in consultation with his or her supervisor. The student must ensure that the nomination form of the examiners has been completed and forwarded using a Service request in his or her Candidate Center (uoZone). The list must be submitted at least one month before the filing date. Any delay in the submission of this form will delay the entire evaluation and defence process and may have financial consequences since the submission of the thesis can not be accepted if the list of examiners has not been submitted .

PhD thesis external examiner arrow_drop_down
Each PhD thesis has an external examiner in addition to the internal examiners. The proposed external examiner should be at arm’s length from the PhD candidate, from the thesis research and from the thesis supervisor. Examiners must be seen to be able to examine the student and the thesis free of substantial conflict of interest.
To enable the faculty to check that external examiners have appropriate expertise and to validate that they are not in conflict of interest, a curriculum vitae must be provided for each proposed examiner. The curriculum vitae should include, the rank, supervisions and a list of publications.
In signing the form with the names of the proposed examiners, the director of the academic unit or delegate is indicating that, to the best of their knowledge, no conflict of interest exists.
For more information, or if there is any question about whether a potential external examiner is at arm’s length, please contact your faculty.

Submission for evaluation arrow_drop_down
When submitting a thesis for evaluation, the student must be enrolled. It is important that the student submits the final draft to his or her thesis supervisor sufficiently early in the term. By doing so the supervisor can read it, provide feedback and deliver it to the student in a timely manner. Consequently, the student can then make the latest revisions or corrections and submit his or her thesis for evaluation, after having obtained approval from the supervisor that the thesis is ready for evaluation .
Thesis submission method arrow_drop_down
The student has to submit an electronic copy of the thesis in the Candidate Center accessible through uoZone .
Statement of the thesis supervisor arrow_drop_down
The supervisor acknowledges having examined the thesis and propose to submit it to the jury. The thesis supervisor will approve or refute the thesis submission throughout the uoCampus portal.
The thesis supervisor will approve the submission of the thesis if he or she is convinced that the thesis meets the standards of the program of studies. In some cases, the thesis supervisor may ask the student to further develop his or her work.
Students who wish to know their status at this stage must log in to the Candidate Center (uoZone).
Steps to evaluation
Evaluation by the thesis jury.
The jury examiners must evaluate the thesis independently and, during the evaluation process, must not contact other examiners, the thesis supervisor, or the student to discuss the thesis evaluation before they submit their report to the office organizing the evaluation and defence.
- Written evaluation of master’s thesis without oral defence and verdicts: See regulation C-7.10.2 of the Academic Regulation on thesis.
- Written evaluation of master’s thesis with oral defence and verdicts: See regulation C-7.10.2 of the Academic Regulation on thesis.
- Written evaluation of a doctoral thesis and verdicts: See regulation C-7.10.2 of the Academic Regulation on thesis.
For theses with an oral defence component, the thesis will be evaluated and then defended in person before a jury composed of professors other than the thesis director. Jury members read and evaluate the thesis. They must express their opinion on the thesis, and indicate whether they consider it ready for defence.
Thesis evaluation report with oral defence requirement
All examiners must submit a written and detailed evaluation report. All reports and examiner's name will be sent to the student and the thesis supervisor(s) and to the other examiners, including the president of the defence, prior to the thesis defence.
The examiner's reports must be sufficiently detailed to allow student to prepare for the defence or, if necessary, to make revisions. It is therefore very important for examiners to write relevant comments. An examiner who judges that the thesis is not ready to go to the defence must specify what gaps need to be filled.
- Are there any flaws in the interpretation of the results or in the method?
- The presentation is problematic and harms the comprehension of certain passages?
Note that the examiner's comments are also considered when a student is recommended for a prize (thesis with or without oral defence requirement).
Typographical errors should not be listed in the report itself but on a separate page.
Students who wish to know their status at this stage can connect to the Candidate center (uoZone).
