Writing and viva workshops#
Writing and viva workshops are designed to help students prepare their written reports and offer tips for successfully navigating the viva process. The workshops are delivered by the Centre for Academic English (CfAE). You will receive calendar invitations for all workshops from the CfAE closer to the date.
There will be two identical writing workshop sessions - one in person and one online. Please attend only one.
