Any candidates proceeding to the Degree by thesis shall give notice of the fact in writing and shall name the subject and title of the thesis and provide a short synopsis of the scope and character of the work undertaken. The Faculty of Medicine will then determine whether or not the candidate may proceed by thesis. If the thesis is acceptable, the Faculty of Medicine will then appoint examiners to consider the thesis and such examiners will be instructed to report upon the merit of the work submitted and to give an indication as to what portions of Part I and/or Part II of the examination shall be required of the candidate in addition to the thesis. It is appropriate for the examiners to recommend, if the thesis be of outstanding merit, that the candidate be exempt from the entire examination.
The Faculty of Medicine has resolved that a thesis—
should not be any ordinary compilation from books, nor be a mere compendium of cases,
nor merely observational,
but should be a substantial contribution to knowledge,
should be in fit form for publication or be already published in approved form and
should show work at least equal to that involved in preparation for the examination in Obstetrics and Gynaecology for the Degree of M.G.O. by written questions.
A candidate who submits work which has been done in collaboration with other workers is required to submit a statement setting out the extent to which he was responsible for the initiation and prosecution of the work. The examiners shall take such steps as they think fit to assess the value of the candidate's share of the joint work, and shall be satisfied that the individual candidate has been responsible for making a substantial contribution to the theory or practice or both of Gynaecology and Obstetrics or Gynaecology or Obstetrics.
The examination in Clinical Obstetrics and Gynaecology for candidates proceed- ing by thesis may involve the examination of the candidate in any matter concerned with the practice of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
