Hi,

When you prepare for the viva, do you prepare to make a presentation with a power point etc. or do we expect to sit and wait for the examiners questions???

Many thanks:-)

It varies by discipline and department. You should ask your supervisor for advice.

In my field (humanities) it is not usual to give a presentation. I did not give one, nor was I invited to. I just had a Q&A discussion with my examiners.

Thank you,
My supervisors are away in a leave and they did explain what I should expect in a viva.

Ok ask other staff in your department. There should be other people you can ask, like the head of PG studies, or even the head of department.

And even if your supervisors are away they may be reading email, so you could ask that way.

There is no standard rule.
