Thesis Examination
Thesis Splash Page
Advice about thesis submission and examination, thesis style and format, examiners expectations of thesis, thesis as a series of papers and a step-by-step guide to the submission process is available from the GRS Thesis splash page.
Your PHEME account will stay active during the examination period and for a year after graduation, giving you access to the library, student email account and IT services during this time.
Viva Voce Examination
Viva Voce
If you are enrolled in a PhD, you will be required to complete a Viva Voce as part of your overall examination.
After your thesis is examined by two examiners, they will also meet with you to discuss your thesis. You will be provided with their examiner reports prior to this Viva Voce meeting, which will allow you and your supervisors to prepare your responses to their comments about your thesis prior to meeting them in person.
Viva Voce guidelines for UWA students, supervisors, chairs and examiners are available on the GRS webpages and the GEOs offer Viva Voce workshops to help prepare you for this part of your examination.

Thesis as a Series of Papers
At UWA, the course rules and examination criteria for all PhD theses are the same, whether or not the thesis contains published papers. Unlike some other universities, UWA does not have a separate set of rules or criteria for theses formatted as a series of published papers, although the rules allow for theses to be prepared in this way.
At UWA, papers included in a thesis do not need to be published, they can be presented as manuscripts prepared for submission or submitted for publication. If a thesis is formatted as a series of papers it needs to include general introduction and general discussion.
There are a number of important considerations to be taken into account when formatting a thesis as a series of papers, such as time constraints, co-authorship, coherence, substantiveness and repetition. Advice is provided to students & supervisors about thesis formatting on the GRS webpages and in face-to-face workshops.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this induction module. You can refer back to online module at anytime or print a hard copy. We hope that you find the information useful as you continue throughout your candidature at UWA.
To finalise your GRS induction, we ask you to register for, and attend, a GRS Welcome.
The GRS Welcome is a half day program. You will meet other new students, meet the GRS staff and hear from students close to completion about their experience of HDR studies at UWA. Importantly, you will have the opportunity to ask any remaining questions you have about your candidature.
