Hi, I did my viva in July, 2015, and was given major amendment to do. In the viva, the examiners said they gave me this result was based on their thinking of I may have new things to do after this viva ( Though, this point did not persuade me).
But I did the amendment and submitted my thesis last month.

Now it has been 4 weeks since I submitted it, I did not hear anything from the university, and started feeling very odd.

Could anyone share the experience of how long did it take you to receive your PhD result after submitting your thesis?

Should I email the university regarding this?

Cheers

I think it took me 3 days to get the corrections approved by the internal (I doubt he bothered to check them).

Then it took another few days to get confirmation from the school that the corrections were approved and then it was another 6 weeks til the exam board met and confirmed the result and then I got my certificate after graduation.

I would email the university or examiner that is approving them and ask for an update. Check in your school handbook whether you are allowed to contact the examiner first though.

It varies a lot, depending on the examiners and the particular university procedures. I heard after 2 months, via a note from my supervisor saying that the examiners had decided to pass me without any further corrections. The formal confirmation and report took another couple of weeks to arrive.

Thank you, TreefLife and Gwen86 for sharing your experience. I emailed the research office in my uni. The answer is that they contacted the examiner last week and hope to hear from them during the next two weeks. This means that my thesis was kept by the uni for four weeks without sending to the examiners or making me aware of this.

The whole PhD experience to me is just odd- seems no regulation. After I submitting my amendment to the uni, none of my supervisors/advisors have been in contact with me. I just do not understand this, either.

Stressful indeed. anyone got the same situation before?

Hi, guys

I think it is best for me to update my PhD result status, which may sounds funny. But, no I have not received any result, and it has been 11 weeks from the date I submitted to the research office. I have contacted another twice, the reply are the same formate: for example, you will hear the result on the 23th of Febuary, then when the time reached the 23th of February, no result. Then I contacted the research office again, the reply is the same, you will hear the result, for example on the 10th of March, then on the 10th of March, nothing received.

Are there any other PhD students having/have had similar experience like this? or could offer some suggestion for this situation?

I was given major corrections - resubmitted last November and didn't get the result until February I'm afraid...so a solid 3 month wait. I have now been given minor revisions (the saga never ends!!)

Good luck to you - I hope you get your result soon as I know how agonising the wait can be. You put your life on hold as you can't be sure when that result is going to come through. Let me know how you get on! :)

i contacted the research office last week, 3 months plus one week since I submitted the amendment - no result.
The staff told me that the internal examiner still has not get back to her. I then asked how about the external examiner, the staff told me that the external examiner has accelerated my amendment, which is a good news. Now only wait for the internal examiner. to be honest, I am confused, why the internal would like to delay me. my university chit of degree committee emailed me before that after submitting my amendment there is only two possible result : pass and be awarded to the degree; not pass and not be warded the degree. There is not minor correction.
