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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Katharine M.
