Learn everything you need to know about drafting and submitting your thesis, preparing for your final progress review and how to finish on time.

Planning for submission

The final stage of your candidature will involve drafting (and re-drafting) your thesis before your final submission. Before reaching this final step you should be aware of what options are available to you regarding extending your candidature (if you need to) and potentially preparing for your Final Progress Review.

Preparing your thesis

We recommend that you visit  Graduate Research Hub: Preparing my thesis for information on the required format of your thesis , word limits, details of what to include (and exclude) in your thesis, how to submit a thesis with publication , as well as an overview of the examination process.

Your supervisors and advisory committee will be able to provide you with guidance on any discipline-specific requirements of your thesis.

The faculty recognises that writing up your thesis is a difficult stage in your candidature, and so has multiple thesis boot camps available throughout the year to assist you.

We acknowledge that COVID-19 disruptions may have impacted your thesis. You should discuss these in your thesis and/or include a written statement so that your examiners can understand how your thesis has been impacted. Visit the Graduate Research Hub for further guidance .

Thesis due dates

The expectation is that you will submit your thesis within your expected course duration:

• PhD: within three years (part-time six years)
• MPhil/Master of Industrial Research: within 18 months (part-time three years)

Your expected thesis submission date may change during your candidature – for example, if you take leave of absence, change your research degree or change between full and part-time study.

You can check your expected thesis submission date through my.unimelb .

If your research hasn’t gone to plan and you need more time, there is the facility to extend the expected course duration to the maximum course duration as part of your progress review meeting, noting that extensions are provided for a maximum of 6 months (full-time equivalent) at a time.

We strongly recommend that you visit Finishing on Time on the Graduate Research Hub as this includes information on your maximum course duration date, a date which will differ depending on when you enrolled, and which course you’re enrolled in.

Final progress review

If you’ve received an extension of candidature beyond your original expected submission date (and you haven’t already submitted your thesis), your Final Progress Review will be due 6 months (full-time equivalent) prior to your maximum course duration date. This Final Progress Review will provide you and your advisory committee with the opportunity to discuss your ability to submit by your maximum course duration date.

If you’ve had research-related impacts or other compelling and compassionate reasons for identifying why you’re unable to submit by your maximum course duration date, then your Final Progress Review may be used to apply for Late Submission . If there aren’t extenuating circumstances, your advisory committee will detail a research plan to ensure you’re able to submit your thesis by your maximum course duration date.

Remember: if you do not submit your thesis by your maximum course duration date (and you have not applied and been approved for Late Submission ) your enrolment will be terminated from the day of your maximum course duration date.

Submission and examination

Submitting your thesis.

Before submitting your thesis you will need to register your intention to submit. You can download the Thesis Submission Checklist to assist you. To submit your thesis, you’ll need to present your research findings at a public completion seminar within six months prior to submitting. Please contact your school administrator to book your completion seminar.

More on submitting your thesis

After submitting your thesis

Once you’ve submitted your thesis through the Thesis Examination System (TES) it usually takes between four to six months before you’ll be notified of your result. The examination period is an ideal time to consider applying for a Postgraduate Writing-Up Award.

Presentation 9 | Harry Driscoll Title: Development of an Advanced Full-Body Biomechanical Model for the Simulation of Torso Muscle Function during Dynamic Exercise

The link between trunk muscle strength and athletic performance is unclear. A comprehensive model of the trunk musculature may shed light on the relationship between trunk muscle strength and athletic performance. We developed and implemented a full-body musculoskeletal model with a detailed representation of the trunk muscles in a simulation of running at 5.0 ms-1.

The model reproduced measured three-dimensional joint motion using muscle activation patterns consistent with measured electromyography.  A more comprehensive understanding of the role of the trunk muscles during dynamic activity would improve training, injury prevention and rehabilitation for both sporting and clinical applications.

Presentation 3 | Sulochana Pitawala Title: Wastewater Treatment Using Filamentous Algae

Filamentous algae can effectively remove pollutants from wastewater while significantly reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from the treatment process. However, their implementation at large scale is hindered by our limited ability to predict filamentous algae performance.

This project aims to develop a mathematical model to predict filamentous algae productivity in outdoor wastewater treatment systems. The model will account for the influence of seasonal and daily fluctuations in light and temperature levels, offering insights into the productivity in outdoor systems. This model will provide a deeper understanding of system performance that is needed to evaluate, design and optimise large-scale industrial operations.

Presentation 4 | Jackquline Eardley Title: Selective recovery of valuable fine minerals Minerals play a vital role in the production of everyday items like phones and cars. As the demand for it increases, we must carry out a more comprehensive search, including the waste. The rocks that we dig up need to be broken down finely so we can extract as much as we can. This brings about complexity to the processing as we want to deal with as little fine minerals as possible.

My project’s objective is to address this challenge using polymers to increase the size of the valuable fines only, making their processing and separation easier and more efficient.

Presentation 1 | Igor Kurdush Title: Enabling ultra-reliable and low latency human-to-machine (H2M) communication for Industry 5.0 A study on existing and evolutionary enterprise network architectures and AI-aided network solutions to meet the future demands of Industry 5.0.

Presentation 2 | Antonella Maria De Corato Title:  Techno-economic modelling and optimization of integrated electricity-gas-hydrogen systems in smart multi-energy communities

This project aims at developing a multi-energy networks-constrained energy management tool that optimally operates the local distributed energy resources, including hydrogen electrolyzers, aggregated within a multi-energy community to meet different targets, for example cost minimization by using the cheapest combinations of energy vectors (e.g., electricity, gas, hydrogen) at different times.

To ensure that technically feasible operational set-points are recommended, electricity and gas distribution networks technical limits, in the presence of distributed hydrogen injections in the gas network, are considered.

Presentation 6 | Xiangyu Xie Concrete pumping is a method of transferring fresh concrete to the construction site using a specialized pump and pipeline. The pump allows the concrete to be delivered efficiently and precisely, reaching areas that may be challenging or impossible to access using traditional methods.

This research focuses on the investigation of the mechanism behind the pumping process. The results enable construction professionals to optimize concrete placement, leading to improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Meanwhile, understanding the flow characteristics helps prevent blockages and ensures a smooth process, enhancing safety on the construction site.

Presentation 7 | Nefel Tellioglu Çetinkaya Title: Computational modelling of the epidemiological dynamics of skin pathogens

Covid-19 pandemic effectively demonstrated how disease transmission changes when people's mobility dynamics change and when multiple strains evolve. In many infectious diseases, including human skin pathogens, heterogeneities in pathogen and host population play an important role in an endemic level of high disease prevalence.

My thesis aims to understand the impact of pathogen strains and human characteristics on disease prevalence and control measures. My results show that within-host interactions of strains can cause more disease transmission in a community. I also observe that community and pathogen-specific interventions are likely to perform better to reduce disease burden.

Presentation 8 | Wei Zhao Title: Designing Digital Technologies for the Social Engagement of Older Adults in Personally Meaningful Activities. Using a qualitative approach, this PhD project investigates how existing and emerging technologies such as videoconferencing, virtual reality and artificial intelligence can support and expand the engagement of older people in meaningful activities in their daily lives.

Presentation 10 | Shaveen Bogahapitiya Gamage Title:  The Antibacterial Activity of Selenium Nanoparticle-Antimicrobial Peptide Conjugates Antimicrobial resistance is a major challenge affecting human and animal healthcare systems. Alternative solutions are required due to the limited availability of powerful drugs that can combat microbial infections and keep up with microbial resistance development. This project aims to study the design of Selenium nanoparticles to combat microbial infections as an alternative or adjunct to currently utilised antibiotics by utilising biomaterial, tissue engineering, chemical synthesis and immunology knowledge.

Theses can be a valuable source of information, especially for topics where there are fewer published works available., the references or works cited in a thesis can also be useful to find further published sources on a topic..

If you are currently writing a thesis (Honours, Masters or PhD) you may want to:

• check if anyone has recently completed a PhD thesis in your area of research internationally
• look at PhD theses from your faculty (or supervised by your supervisor) to get an idea of how to format your thesis.

Most recent theses are available through Minerva Access , the University's institutional repository. 

Minerva includes PhD and Masters Research theses, as well as a smaller number of Honours and Masters Coursework theses.

Accessing Full-Text in Minerva Access

• Coimbra Group 3MT Competition
• Competitions

The Coimbra Group 3MT competition was launched in 2017 by the Doctoral Studies Working Group , in line with one of their strategic priorities geared towards the professional development of PhD candidates. It has been held on an annual basis since then.

This competition is open to any CG member university on a voluntary basis. Each participating institution must hold their own internal 3MT competition to select a local winner. An information meeting is organised with the technical committee in the autumn to brief all participating institutions on the 3MT rules set out by the University of Queensland and related technical criteria and to share relevant tips and advice.

The network-wide competition then consists of two phases:

• in the first phase, the winner of each local contest competes against other local winners via video submission, after the technical committee has completed an eligibility check. All CG Universities are invited to vote online by assigning 3, 2 and 1 point(s) to their preferred top three contestants. 
• the live final is the second and last phase of the competition, where the three shortlisted presenters are assessed by an international judging panel for a first prize and two runners-up. The live final takes place every year at a different host CG University in connection with the CG Annual Conference.

For more information on the CG 3MT Competition including timeframes, the entry process, and past laureates,  visit the Coimbra Group website .

Celebrating Academic Excellence in Nutritional Sciences

May 27, 2024 | CCARM News , DND News , Home News | 0 comments

Under the mentorship of Dr. Miyoung Suh, Principal Investigator in Nutrition and Neurological Diseases and CCARM, three students have garnered notable awards and recognition in their respective fields. These achievements highlight the department’s commitment to fostering excellence in research and education.

Joanna Candas: A Stellar Victory in French Thesis Competition

Joanna Candas, a Master’s student, showcased her communication skills by securing 1st place in the French heat of the Ma Thèse en 180 Secondes (MT180) competition. The MT180 competition, launched by the Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas) in 2012, is inspired by the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition established by The University of Queensland in 2008. Participants are challenged to present a clear and concise explanation of their research project in French, within three minutes.

Dr. Ruchira Nandasiri: Leadership in Canada-India Research Collaboration

Dr. Ruchira Nandasiri, a Postdoctoral Fellow under Dr. Suh’s supervision, was honored with the HQP Leadership Award from IC-IMPACTS. This prestigious award recognizes high-quality personnel (HQP) who have demonstrated leadership in research projects aimed at transforming and sustaining communities.

IC-IMPACTS, the India-Canada Centre for Innovative Multidisciplinary Partnerships to Accelerate Community Transformation and Sustainability, is the only Canada-India Research Centre of Excellence established through the Canadian Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE). Dr. Nandasiri’s award underscores the importance of international research collaborations in advancing community-focused innovations.

Chelsey Walchuk: Leading the Way in Agri-Food, Nutrition, and Health

PhD student Chelsey Walchuk achieved first place in the oral competition at the International Trainee Symposium in Agri-Food, Nutrition and Health held in Winnipeg in January 2024. This symposium is a significant event that brings together emerging scholars and experts to discuss the latest research and advancements in agri-food, nutrition, and health.

The Vision of Dr. Miyoung Suh

These achievements by Joanna Candas, Dr. Ruchira Nandasiri, and Chelsey Walchuk are a reflection of the exceptional mentorship and leadership of Dr. Miyoung Suh. As the Principal Investigator in the Division of Neurodegenerative Disorders and the Canadian Centre for Agri-Food Research in Health and Medicine, Dr. Suh has dedicated her career to advancing research in nutrition and neurological diseases.

Her commitment to nurturing young researchers and fostering a collaborative and innovative research environment has been instrumental in guiding her students to success. Dr. Suh’s influence extends beyond the laboratory, inspiring the next generation of scientists to push the boundaries of knowledge and make meaningful contributions to society.
