hi need a quick answer please Masters completion date

S

hi everyone
can someone clarify this with me:
If a student has submitted his masters thesis in 2003 but the viva was held in 2004, does this mean the Masters was completed in 2004 or 2003?

thanks

I'd say 2004, as that's when the examination was held and the assessment was completed and finalised, and it wasn't that the process was completed in 2003 and then the award was made in 2004 - the award couldn't be made without the viva being passed. That's my opinion anyway.

hi LoveHz

OK I will explain this to him.
