What is involved at the Viva Voce?
The viva voce is the final, oral examination when students are required to present their work before a panel of examiners. The panel comprises an internal examiner, from the School of Management, and an external examiner who has been selected as a specialist in the student’s research area. The student’s supervisor attends and the panel is chaired by a member of faculty of the School. The student is awarded the degree of DBA on passing the viva or on completion of any required corrections/revisions to the satisfaction of the examiner(s). Successful candidates are conferred at the annual Graduation ceremony in June and may then use the title ‘Dr’.
