  • Thesis Topic Registration

    Posted by Jing Hsu Friday 08 September 2023, 09:12:16 PM.

    Dear Thesis A students,

    By the end of Week 1, you need to register your thesis topic details and set up a thesis project (project = topic + you + supervisor + assessor).

    IMPORTANT: students without a topic by this deadline will be asked to discontinue Thesis A and try again next term.

    Before registering your topic, you need to personally contact potential supervisors and get acceptance from a supervisor, who provide the topic and nominate an assessor for your thesis.

    Then you can register the topic in Thesis Management System (TMS): https://thesis.cse.unsw.edu.au/ .

    • The supervisor creates the topic and adds an assessor for the project if it doesn't exist in TMS.
    • You can find the topic in TMS and apply for it.
    • Your supervisor accepts you in TMS.
    • You agree to take the project in TMS.

    If a topic in TMS is not available to apply, please send me the accept email from your supervisor and the topic name or link, then I can make it available or allocate it to you.

    Best Regards,

    Dr. Jing Hsu, CSE Thesis Admin
