Thesis Submission Guidelines

What's expected when preparing and submitting a Master's or PhD thesis at UPNG.

Thesis formatting, examination and submission requirements are set by the University's postgraduate research policy and administered by the Academic and Student Administration Division in coordination with your School.

  • Notify your School of your intention to submit ahead of your expected submission date
  • Format your thesis to the University's current presentation requirements
  • Submit for examination through your School, which arranges examiners
  • Lodge the final, examined copy with the Michael Somare Library for the research repository

Candidates should confirm the current requirements with their School well ahead of submission, as formatting and examination procedures are reviewed from time to time.
