The subject of the thesis must be approved by the Department
at least six months before the Convocation during which the
candidate expects to receive the degree. The master's thesis
must demonstrate the candidate's competence to undertake independent
research work. It must make a contribution to knowledge in
the candidate's field of study. The thesis must show that
the candidate is fully aware of the pertinent published material
and it must be written in a satisfactory literary style. It
should be free of typographical and other errors. The thesis
must at first be examined by the Department. If approved,
it shall then be submitted to an Examining Board appointed
by the Chairman of the Department concerned or a delegate
(or in the case of an interdisciplinary thesis, the Chairmen
of the Departments concerned or their delegates).
The Examining Board shall be constituted in accordance with
the following regulations:
- Examining Boards shall consist of at least three persons.
- No more than two persons who have been formally involved
in the supervision of the candidate may serve on the Examining
Board.
- Members of the Board who were involved in the supervision
of the candidate must constitute a minority.
- At least one of the non-supervising members of the Board
must be from a Department other than the one in which the
candidate has studied. In the case of a master's thesis
this requirement, although not mandatory, is desirable.
- The chairman of an Examining Board shall be a member
of the candidate's Department and shall not have been formally
involved in the supervision of the candidate.
The Board may also include an external reader. Should the
Board approve the thesis, it shall then examine the candidate
orally. The oral examination will be chaired by the Chairman
of the student's Department, who will not vote. Other members
of the University Faculty may participate in the examination
but shall not vote. The Chairman shall report the decision
of the Examining Board to the Rector of the Technical University
of Crete. The thesis must conform in all respects to the regulations
governing the presentation of theses approved by the Technical
University of Crete.
