The viva is an important part of the assessment for your research programme and these online resources will demystify the process so you know what to expect on the day. The Canvas course also covers strategies to help you prepare for the viva, including advice on how to deal with difficult questions. Attend our workshop in the months approaching your viva to do some practical activities to help you prepare.
