f) Subject to satisfactory performance in the written examinations (and the decision of the Board of Examiners to permit students to proceed to Stage II of their studies) students will continue with the remainder of the research work and complete the dissertation by 10 September 2010.  Each student should make an appointment to see his/her academic advisor soon after the results of Stage I Examinations are known.  Students should allow at least four weeks for editing, typing, proof reading of the final draft and binding prior to submission.

i) Students prevented by illness or other justifiable cause from meeting of the deadline for the submission of dissertations should apply in writing for an extension to Dr Kyriaki Mitroussi.  Normally, extensions can only be granted to cover events outside the student’s control and of sufficient seriousness to warrant a delay in submission.
