First, after thesis submission, your department will hold a synopsis seminar—that took about a month for me. Then, the university sends it to examiners, which is the real wait; mine took nearly five months, because in Arts, without funding, you're not a priority. Finally, the open defence happens within a month of receiving the reports, if all goes well. I know because I sat with my stitching for all those anxious months, watching the seasons change in my vegetable patch, learning that university calendars move at their own rooted, unhurried pace.
