Thank you everybody for the reply.

Thinking that my potential examiner could be not an expert in my field, I am not really comfortable with that, since he/she needs to assess a work that does not know very well.

Yes, examiners should be carefully selected, and the Ph.D. candidate should be involved in the decision, but unfortunately it is not always the case.

Thank you MeaninginLife for the link, very useful.

Thank you indeed for the reply.

I concern about it as the thesis should be also based on the examiners (e.g. references, different views, etc.). Obviously, if you do not them you cannot fit your work.

So I should wait.. However, I spoke with other colleagues also from other universities and nobody had the same situation.

Thank you.

Hello everybody,

I just submitted my Ph.D. thesis but my supervisors did not let me know yet the names of my internal and external examiners.

Is it common in UK? and what can I do, have to complain? I did wrong to submit my work before to know the examiners?

Please any advice are highly appreciated.

Thank you very much.
