defended their research/thesis Explanation: about to agree with Luis but think correct term here has to be "defended" and also do not agree that "candidates are normally questioned by a panel" everywhere for a Master's. In Mexico this appears to be the case but elsewhere it is "normal to defend a Ph.D but not always necessary to defend a Master's =responded to/answered questions put to them by the panel You haven't said target country so have a look here to see what is "normal" there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 hrs (2014-12-04 13:06:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- of course the noun, if you need it , is the defence (UK) the defense (US) |
