Aim

The overall aim is to give participants confidence to respond fluently and appropriately to the examiners’ questions. 

Specific aims are to enable participants to:   

• Have insight into what questions will be asked 
• Be prepared to deal with potentially problematic areas 
• Effectively use discussion skills to elaborate the dialogue with the examiners 
• Clearly describe their contribution to the research area 
• Consider all aspects that could influence the Defence delivery and performance 

Teaching form 

Face-to-face classroom tuition and intensive question-and-answer group practice culminating in participants responding to questions related to their PhD thesis posed by “mock” examiners.  

Participants 

PhD students nearing their PhD defence with Results/Findings to present, discuss and defend. The course is also useful for those about to write their thesis.
