An informal discussion to make successful viva.

Course Aims

  • To inform students of examination formalities and University regulations. 
  • To assist students in examination preparations.
  • To allow students to hear the opinions of examiners and previous students.

Course Format

This course will take place as a workshop, which will involve presentations and informal discussions, with free rein for students to ask questions throughout.
