Chair of Examiners nominees
The Thesis Examination System (TES) and other online forms for graduate research management, will ask supervisors to nominate a Chair of Examiners. This may be either the Head of Department or a delegate.
Please click on your faculty below to view the appropriate nominee for your department, school, discipline or course. In some cases, due to availability or Conflicts of Interest, an alternative Chair of Examiners may be nominated or appointed. The Chair of Examiners and the Chair of Viva cannot be the same person.
Graduate researchers must share their live iThenticate report of their submitted thesis with their Chair of Examiners. Supervisors must advise graduate researchers who their Chair of Examiners is, if it is not the nominee below.
