The viva is big, important and can feel a bit scary. You need to be prepared but that doesn’t mean you have to make heroic efforts to get ready.
- Reading your thesis once is probably enough!
- A mock viva and a few conversations is probably enough practice!
- Reading a few papers and making a few summaries is all you need!
A little reading, a little thinking, a little practice… You don’t need to be over the top with your preparations to be ready for your viva.
If your viva feels big and important that’s because it is.
So are you and so is your work.
