Overview
To provide you with an authentic Viva experience, the Mock Viva will be run by two senior academics with extensive experience. As part of the preparation for the Mock Viva, a document on the Viva procedure, including a list of typical questions, will be provided.

To ensure the effectiveness of this Mock Viva process, it is recommended that you use it only once you have completed a first full draft of your thesis.

If you still have not submitted your thesis then feedback provided during the Mock Viva proved to be well geared to finalize your thesis.

If you have submitted your thesis already and examiners have been nominated then the Mock Viva will also consider the examiners’ profiles.

You will be asked to provide a copy of the submitted thesis in Microsoft Word or Open Document format.

Following the Mock Viva, you will receive a document outlining the areas examiners may focus on, strategies for defending any shortcomings identified, and suggestions for what needs to be developed further(expressions, reasoning, behaviour, argumentation styles, defence and buy-in techniques, etc).
