Thesis Guidelines

Please inform Devina Singh (Graduate Program Coordinator) by email (at gradstudies.pathology [at] mcgill.ca) if you are intending to submit your initial thesis and/or schedule a PhD oral defence.

Thesis regulations are mandated by GPS 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ. All relevant information on writing and submitting your thesis is provided on the GPS 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ thesis website. Writing a thesis is one of the most significant milestones towards degree completion, but can also feel like a daunting task!

A great resource is to consult theses written by successful graduates in 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Pathology, which are available to the public on the website.

Doctoral Oral Defence

Once the Doctoral student’s thesis is submitted and sent to the examiners, the department will receive a myThesis notification advising them that they can coordinate the oral defence and complete event details in myThesis. The earliest date (tentative, pending receipt of examiner reports) the defence may take place is 6 weeks from the date the notification is received. The department completes the myThesis page after the members of the Oral Defence Committee and the date and location of the oral defence have been confirmed. The completed myThesis page must be received by GPS at least four (4) weeks prior to the defence date. The four-week notice is necessary to allow time to secure a Pro-Dean. More details can be found at the link below.
