英國倫敦大學聲明:蔡英文博士在1984年「取得學位」
先前有學者林環牆與媒體人彭文正找出證據,指控蔡英文博士論文並不存在,引起「學位門」的爭議。不過,英國倫敦大學近期在官網上宣布了有關我國總統蔡英文論文事件的聲明。
倫敦大學指出,現任台灣總統蔡英文博士於 1984 年 2 月,在提交了她的論文並受兩位考官審查後,得到博士學位。儘管不清楚校內典籍館是否存有論文副本,但這件事與蔡博士的博士學位無相干,該博士學位已被正確授予。
倫敦大學也在聲明表示,校方斷然否認為了尋找此論文副本,而對本校任何職員的任何不當行為或虛假指控。倫敦大學所有接洽過這份論文詢問事宜的職員,均以最誠信的態度來行事。

University of London statement on missing thesis
Dr Tsai Ing-wen, who is now the President of Taiwan, was awarded a PhD in February 1984 following the submission and examination of her thesis by two examiners. While it remains unclear whether copies were deposited with the University’s library, that has no bearing on Dr Tsai’s PhD, which was correctly awarded.
The University categorically denies any allegations of wrongdoing or falsehood made against any member of staff in relation to the search for copies of this thesis. All University of London staff who have handled enquiries related to this thesis have done so with the utmost integrity.
- LSE has an electronic copy of the thesis available to access via their online thesis system – LSE Theses Online(Opens in new window).
