Annex B1: Submission for a research degree The student is required to submit a two-part declaration along with their dissertation or thesis. Part 1 is bound into the dissertation or thesis and is essentially a confirmation that the work is the student’s own. Part 2 is supplied loose (not bound into the dissertation or thesis) on submission and is a series <strong>of</strong> declarations by (1) the student, (2) the lead supervisor and (3) interested parties such as the non-academic supervisor if the thesis contains confidential information. Part 2 is not supplied to the examiners <strong>of</strong> the degree. Part 2 section 3 is also important if there is to be an embargo on access to the thesis within the library. The two-part declaration can be downloaded at http://www.<strong>keele</strong>.ac.uk/gradschool/<strong>code</strong><strong>of</strong><strong>practice</strong>/copforms/ COP on PGR Degrees, November 2011 46
