How do I prepare for a dissertation viva?
Reread your dissertation and be ready to summarise it in a few minutes. Prepare to explain why you chose your topic and methods, what you found, the limitations and what you would do differently. Practise answering questions aloud, ideally with a friend or supervisor, and keep your answers clear and honest.
If your course asks for a poster instead of slides, see academic poster design. Our responsible use policy covers using speaker notes as a guide.
