Abstract
The viva examination is the culmination of the PhD process. However, it is
important to prepare carefully for this final and important hurdle. In this
paper, Barbara Jack looks at the different stages of the viva examination,
which include undertaking a careful and systematic preparation. This
preparation involves gaining a comprehensive awareness of the university
procedure for the viva, researching examiners, and considering the value
of having a mock viva. The paper explores the actual viva and makes
suggestions to deal effectively with questioning from the examiners. Finally,
the results of the viva and steps needed to address corrections are discussed.
