Surviving the viva
Dr Angus Erskine, Applied Social Science
Dr Ian Grieve, Environmental Science
15th April 2003, 3pm - 4:30pm
A1, Cottrell Building
The PhD viva is surrounded by mystique, but this shouldn't affect your
preparation or your performance. This session will, using both the
experiences of supervisor & students alike, provide you with information
that clarifies the viva process. You will be able to identify what
questions and strategies that you should discuss in further depth with your
supervisor. This seminar will:
* remove the mystique surrounding the viva process;
* define what the viva involves;
* help you structure and prepare for your viva.
If you would like to sign up for this session please contact Natalie
Bradshaw on (46) 6691 or by e-mail at graduate-research(a)stir.ac.uk
