viva
含义: An oral examination, especially one in which a student defends a thesis or dissertation before a panel of examiners. Short for 'viva voce.'
In UK universities, a viva is a standard part of the doctoral examination process. The candidate presents and defends their thesis before internal and external examiners, who may ask probing questions about methodology, findings, and implications. Vivas can also occur at undergraduate and master's level. The experience is often described as intense but rewarding. Outcomes range from a pass with no corrections to major corrections or, rarely, failure.
