Mock Viva & Examiner Preparation
A structured mock viva with examiner style questioning, so the real defence is not the first time you have been asked the hard question.
Rereading your own thesis prepares you to recognise it, not to defend it under real questioning. A mock viva puts an examiner style questioner in front of you, asking the kind of question a real examiner is likely to ask: why this method and not another, what you would do differently now, where the weakest part of the argument sits.
What's Included- A structured mock viva session, questioning built around your actual thesis, not a generic script
- Direct feedback on which questions you could not yet answer cleanly, and why
- A short follow up session to work through the weakest areas identified
- A written summary of likely lines of questioning specific to your research, for final preparation
- PhD candidates within one to two years of submission
- Any research student facing a formal oral defence or committee review
- Anyone who wants structured practice rather than simply rereading their own thesis
Stage 06 · Submission, Publication & Defence
This is preparation, not the actual examination, and it cannot predict your specific examiners’ questions with certainty. It is built to surface the gaps in your own answers while the stakes are still low.
Pricing is set at intake, against the specific scope of what you need. We do not quote publicly, because a single editing pass and a full length manuscript review carry very different scopes.
