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.
