We hope you will find these pages of use in developing your own plan for preparing for the examination, but research students can access a range of University and other support.
Your Supervisor
Your supervisor can play a key role in developing a plan for your viva examination preparations. Your supervisor can offer guidance and reassurance as to what to expect and may also be able to help you with your preparations - for example, by going through a practice viva examination with you.
Speak with your supervisor early on in your preparations to see how they can help.
The Good Viva Video
Registered University of Leicester research students can also watch The Good Viva Video. This thirty minute film will explain what you can expect at your viva examination and how you can ensure your preparations are as effective as possible.
Preparing for the Viva Examination - Workshop
The Postgraduate Researcher Development Team run a workshop for postgraduate researchers preparing for their viva examination. It is recommended that you should have already made your first thesis submission before attending the workshop or be planning to submit in the next six months.
This workshop is presented regularly during term time - see the workshop schedule.
There may also be viva preparation training in your College and/or School/Department - if your unsure, please speak with your supervisor or departmental Postgraduate Tutor.
