Embargo request

To embargo the thesis for a period exceeding two years or to extend an expired embargo, will require the prior approval of the Academic Director and will be granted only in exceptional circumstances. Restrictions to access in excess of two years have been agreed in the past where the material, if made publicly available in that time, could jeopardise the application for a patent, is commercially very sensitive, could endanger the author or other parties, or could jeopardise the reputation of an individual or individuals.

To request either an extension to a current embargo or an embargo for a period exceeding two years, the candidate must complete the form below which should include a support statement by the candidate’s supervisor and any supportive evidence.
