My internal examiner is ruining my life
I passed my PhD viva March 2025. It was a difficult viva but after 3 hours I passed. I had a long list of corrections and 6 months of corrections. I did these - I worked so hard, balancing care for a relative, full time job and PhD corrections. I was so proud of my new thesis. I handed this in September 2025. After being told it would be about 2 months till I hear I awaited eagerly to find out my result. 6 months go by - I finally get my feedback after a formal complaint and my DoS complaining. It’s awful - it was 15 pages of comments saying it was all wrong, I hadn’t done anything. After crying to the doctoral school the chair got involved. They then took 2 months to get her to remove excessive comments. Today I get the new list and it’s still as awful. Not as long but very unclear and vague - I just can’t stop crying and want to give up. 🤦♀️ my field is social care and policy and I’m UK based.
