Thesis Defense
Your thesis defence will be held within 8 weeks from the date when you hand in your thesis to IPED. You will receive information regarding the date and time of your defence to your student email.
Your thesis defence will last approximately one hour. The commission will consist of two examiners. Your super-visor may be present during your defence but does not participate in deciding the final grade.
You do not need to prepare any formal presentation or PowerPoint. The commission members have read your thesis. Instead, you should be prepared to answer questions posed by the commission.
The questions can range from general questions connected to your research methodology, strengths and weaknesses of your thesis and what you would do differently if given the chance. Additionally, specific questions related to your thesis will be asked, therefore it is important to read through your thesis again and be prepared. If you have more questions regarding the defense, you should contact your supervisor.
