V. On or before the 1st July in the final year of the course a candidate must apply 
to the University to be examined, and not later than the 1st November following must 
submit at least two copies of a thesis or published work (accompanied by a short 
abstract). The copies of the thesis will be retained by the University. 
VI. The thesis shall be submitted to an examiner who is a specialist in the subject 
of the thesis. This examiner may be a teacher in one of the affiliated institutions. 
VII. A candidate shall submit himself to an oral examination on the subject of 
the thesis and on the general field to which the subject belongs, and may also be 
required to present himself for a written or other examination. 
For the purpose of this clause the examiners shall be the teacher under whom the 
candidate has pursued his course for the degree, together with the specialist to whom 
the thesis has been submitted, but if this specialist is outside New Zealand another 
external examiner shall be appointed for the purpose. 
Degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry. 
Regulations adopted for this degree are as follows :— 
I. Every candidate for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry must 
matriculate and thereafter follow a four-years course of study, keeping terms in accord¬ 
ance with the statute “ Terms and Lectures,” and pass the examinations hereinafter 
prescribed. 
II. There shall be an Intermediate Examination and three Professional Examina¬ 
tions. 
III. The subjects of the Intermediate Examination shall be— 
1. Mathematics—as defined for the Preliminary Examination in Engineering. 
2. Biology .. .. ~j 
3. Physics . . .. )>As for Intermediate Examination for M.B., Ch.B. 
4. Inorganic Chemistry J 
The prescriptions for the Professional Examinations have not yet been 
decided upon.
