MMLL Degree Committee and Postgraduate Studies Committee
The Degree Committee has the statutory duty for overseeing the admission, progress and examination of postgraduate students in the Faculty, including formal matters such as appointment of supervisors, examiners, the approval of dissertation and thesis titles, and requests for the deferral of submission and intermission. One of the most important tasks of the Degree Committee is to receive the reports of individual examiners for MPhil By Thesis and PhD theses. The Degree Committee approves and awards the MPhil and PhD directly.
