7 Reasons You'll Pass Your Viva

It's normal to feel nervous, worried or uncertain before your viva. The viva is important and there's plenty of space for doubts about yours and what might happen - but the reality is that there are many reasons to feel good about your viva and the outcome!

After fifteen years of work supporting PhD candidates around the UK with their viva preparations, I'm excited to offer 7 Reasons You'll Pass Your Viva: my 1-hour confidence boost that gets to grips with the viva and why YOU can feel confident of your success there.

In this 1-hour live session you will:

• learn why you can feel positive about your viva and the outcome;
• explore what the viva is really all about and what you can do for it;
• find answers to any questions troubling you now - once you have an answer you can focus on what you need to do.

You don’t need to prepare anything before the session but might benefit from taking notes throughout. All PhD candidates are welcome, but the material covered is specifically targeted towards candidates working towards their viva in the next six to twelve months.

The session will be delivered live by me (Dr Nathan Ryder) over Zoom and available to watch as a catch-up recording for four weeks afterwards. Among other follow-up materials you'll also receive a pdf copy of 101 Steps To A Great Viva, my short zine all about getting ready for the viva.

Registration for 7 Reasons You'll Pass Your Viva is limited to 40 places. If you're interested but not sure and want to know more please get in touch with any questions.
