The student then proceeds with research and writing of the thesis. Regular meetings should be planned and arranged with the supervisor. As a guide, monthly contact and interaction should be arranged between the student and his supervisor. These contacts may be in the form of face-to-face meetings, email correspondence or phone conversations. It should be noted that the final form of the thesis is the responsibility of the student alone.
The student should submit the finished thesis to the College for examination within the agreed timeline.
