PhD的VIVA是:

A PhD candidate needs to anticipate the questions that are likely to be asked in the viva - the "horrible ordeal where you have to defend your thesis in person before they rip you to shreds." Actually, it's not nearly as bad as it sounds, provided that you enter it having prepared to your utmost.

There are three reasons why PhD candidates have to have a viva: it is so the examiners can see:

* whether it is your own work;
* whether you understand what you did;
* whether it is worth a PhD (i.e. is a contribution to knowledge).
