The book is uniquely structured to encourage candidates to view their viva as an integral part of their doctoral process from the very beginning, rather than a daunting final hurdle.

They emphasise the importance of early preparation and offer tools for developing a robust understanding of one's research, thereby fostering confidence as candidates approach their viva.
