VIVA Time

Two days before your viva is a good time to think VIVA:

  • What is Valuable in your research? Write two sentences explaining something that matters.
  • What was Interesting when you started? Write two sentences that summarise what captured your interest.
  • Is there anything Vague or unclear in your thesis? Write two sentences to note anything that you might need to explain more at your viva.
  • What questions would you like to Ask your examiners? Write two questions you would ask given the opportunity.

A little time and a little focus can be a powerful way to help your viva prep.

Viva Time

It could be a nervous time.

It could be a happy time.

It could be a strange time.

It could be a rushed time.

 

It’s a time of preparing.

A time for remembering.

A time for reflecting.

A time for checking.

 

Time could pass quickly.

Or time could pass slowly.

You could be waiting or pacing or chasing ideas.

Time could feel odd.

 

But it’s your time.

Your time to use as you want or need.

Your time to get ready and then be ready.

Viva time is your time.
