This session is open to PGR Students in their last year of study.
Viva Survivor is a three-hour Zoom session designed to help PGRs feel well-prepared for their viva. To date, it’s been delivered to over 7000 PhD candidates at universities around the UK. By the end of a session participants will have:
- identified what examiners are looking for when they examine a thesis;
- discussed the many ways that others can support preparation;
- explored valuable viva preparation methods;
- established realistic expectations for the viva;
- discussed common questions about the PhD viva.
Participants will have opportunities to ask any and all questions, so that everyone can finish the session unburdened and ready for the viva. Participants are encouraged to approach their viva with confidence, and this is the main message of the session: Viva Survivor aims to help with the final steps of the journey now that the hard work is done.
