Viva Survivor

The viva is almost the end of the PhD. A lot of work leads to this point, but often anxiety can mix with the sense of achievement at completing the thesis. For many candidates the time before the viva is filled with uncertainty about the day, uncertainty about how to prepare well – and stress for what the viva might be like.

Viva Survivor is for postgraduate researchers who want to know how to be ready for their viva. In this three-hour live webinar, you will:

• learn realistic expectations for the PhD viva;

• identify key practical steps to take before submission;

• explore practical strategies for preparation and the day of the viva.

Time will be spent exploring expectations for both in-person and video vivas, and there will be plenty of time for Q&A over text chat. Viva Survivor will be delivered live by Dr Nathan Ryder over Zoom. Registration is limited.
