It is possible to extend your master's research programme should you require more time to complete a thesis in exceptional circumstances.
How do I extend a research programme
If you need more time to submit your master's thesis:
- Discuss the situation with your supervisor and head of department to obtain support.
- Make an application in writing to the appropriate pro-vice-chancellor to request an extension to the time limit. Applications should be supported by the head of department and dean (where applicable).
- Email: masters@otago.ac.nz with your new submission date.
