Seminar Presentation Guidelines

(MPhil & PhD)

The conduct of a candidature seminar refers to the periodic monitoring process of a candidate's research progress

(for example, through progress reports or presentation of research proposals) to evaluate knowledge, critical

thinking, practical, technical, professional, scientific, and problem-solving skills. The candidate's evaluation process is

through a Panel of Assessors appointed by the Responsibility Centre (RC).

The candidature seminar consists of the following:

(a) Proposal Defence

(b) Confirmation Defence

(c) Candidature Defence

(d) Thesis Seminar

The Head of the RC is responsible for ensuring that this procedure is followed during the conduct of the candidature

seminar.

Anyone involved in the conduct of the candidature seminar must adhere to this procedure.
