PhD Thesis Defence
The PhD thesis defence is a seminar where the doctoral student presents his or her thesis in public in the presence of an expert in the field from another university, known as the opponent. The opponent is officially appointed by the Faculty Board. The Faculty Board also appoints a chairman of the public defence and an examining board. The examining board evaluates the thesis and the candidate's defence of the thesis. Based on their evaluation, the Board assigns a grade of “Pass" or “Fail".
Each year the new doctors are honored at the doctoral degree conferment ceremony at Lund University. Learn more about the conferment ceremony at Lund University.
