standard / normal requirements for the award of a doctorate Explanation: I understand 'ordnungsgemäss' here to mean 'standard' or 'normal'. The Institute's three requirements for the award of a doctorate are: ♦ Completion of a program of advanced study, including a general examination with both oral and written parts. ♦ Completion and oral defense of a thesis on original research. ♦ A residence requirement of four regular academic terms of graduate work. http://mit.whoi.edu/fileserver.do?id=51983&pt=2&p=59588 INSEARCH ESSEX In respect of the course: Certificate of Higher Education in Business Management In addition to the standard requirements for the award, students must achieve all of the following: ... http://www2.essex.ac.uk/academic/students/ug/roa/0809/insts_... The Postgraduate Diploma of Cranfield University may also be awarded in recognition of successful completion of part of a course of study normally leading to the Degree of Master, where a related Postgraduate Diploma course exists and provided the candidate has satisfied the normal requirements for the award of the Postgraduate Diploma. http://www.cranfield.ac.uk/academicservices/files/oxvi.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2011-08-26 13:07:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To emphasize the idea that we're dealing with procedural (and not academic) requirements, make it standard / normal procedural requirements for the award of a doctorate / doctoral degree(s) |

Reference: American English Reference information: The Associated Press Stylebook Graduate (v.) Graduate is correctly used in the active voice: She graduated from the university. It is correct, but unnecessary, to use the passive voice: He was graduated from the university. Do not, however, drop from: John Adams graduated from Harvard. Not: John Adams graduated Harvard. The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage graduate (v.) A person may graduate from a school or be graduated from it. But never They graduated high school. |
