DISS: Ethics Approval

Some projects may require ethics committee approval in the form of a certification, which will be submitted with the dissertation. Familiarize yourselves with the formal process here: https://uoe.sharepoint.com/sites/inf-researchservices/SitePages/Ethics.aspx

It is the responsibility of the supervisor and the student alike to figure out, according to the the criteria on the website, if their project requires such an approval. If in doubt, consult the ethics committee at the link above. It is also the supervisor's and student's responsibility to make sure the process follows through, and they receive the certification around the beginning of the project (30/May). We will publish exact dates, but broadly the deadline for submitting such approvals is the end of the IPP course, around the end of April.

Important: We require the 1st and 2nd markers to explicitly comment on whether the project has the appropriate ethics certification. In case there is an unjustifiable discrepancy, this will be flagged and might affect the final grade or the ability to pass.
