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.
