My PhD Viva Experience - What They Won't Tell You

Probably should have mentioned my PhD was in Computer Science, specifically machine learning, specifically specifically using machine learning to support physical exercise, with recommender systems applications in marathon training as a case study

Thanks for this, I found it really helpful in thinking about how to prep for mine!

Great contribution thanks. I am a particularly anxious person too so I appreciate your honesty. Waiting to hear back from examiners atm and am hoping like crazy that they do not want too many changes! Mine also crosses two areas, a novel method and the content focus. Best wishes, Rohena

Well done, no small task. Great to hear the positives of the Viva, esp that if youre at that stage you should expect a pass.

Thank you so much!! Your video is so helpful. Congratulations and well done with all your hard work. You truly deserve it 🎊 could you please let me know how long was your presentation and what tool did you use for your data analysis? Thank you.

I've just finished my master and I can relate so hard. I had this thesis on my mind for years bc I had to stop for 1 year for health issues and before that I had put the master kinda on hold to pursue a different path. I liked a lot writing the thesis even though it was difficult and now I kinda miss it. I dared to write something original and at times I thought I was crazy why did I do that lol. While I was rehearsing my speech and all I was very sick and worried I wouldn't be able to go for my big day and my tutor was the head of this big uni. I was freaked out and my speech sucked. But when I was there everything went super smoothly and I did my best speech lol. It's a weird feeling now, I feel relieved and empty. I'm scared of the future.

hey, great video. I'm starting a PhD in September. My PhD is interdisciplinary, Law and AI. I'm investigating how AI can be best utilised in legal education and how best to prepare a law student for a career in law, but I am also considering changing it to creating an AI assessment grading program to provide the preliminary grade on a student's work, but I'm not sure yet.

Congrats on your viva! I submitted my thesis last week and I am still waiting for my Viva date. Fingers crossed I am able to prepare well for it. How can I prepare for Viva? It is great learning about the viva process.

Thank you for this. Will have a VIVA to pass in 2026! 🎉

Well done. After finishing your PhD, you might not talk about it as much afterward. Therefore, perhaps changing the channel name to something like 'Research & Productivity' might be a good idea.

Hi .i am in the writing phase.can you please share the tips for that

Thought this was another American youtuber until your voice got more and more Irish! Impressive anyways!
