Thesis Defence
Considering that Selinus students come from all over the world, often miles away from the university headquarters, the Doctor Ph.D. degree via distance learning thesis can be defended in three different ways:
- Written defense: the student develops his/her defense in a 5 pages report;
- Oral Defense: (recommended) the student sends an audio or video file (at least 30 minutes duration) containing his/her defense;
- In presence: speaking in front of two/three professors of Selinus University. The student sets a date with the Secretariat to defend his/her thesis in the Selinus headquarters.
