Sitting your viva is the culmination of years of work, to say it is a big moment is an understatement. If you are about to walk into your viva or you are at the beginning of the PhD journey, we have a panel of viva survivors to discuss tips, anecdotes and things they would do differently.

Regular contributor Anna Volkmer is joined Dr Sarah Aldous, a Post-doctoral research associate at UCL, Dr James Fletcher, a Teaching Fellow at King’s College London and Dr Robyn Dowlen, Research Associate at the University of Manchester.

To see profiles on all of our panellists, and to find more blogs and articles on taking your viva visit our website www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk

A transcript of this podcast is available via our website, at https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/podcast-preparing-for-your-viva/
