My viva after 17 days and I submitted my thesis since December. A friend suggested to make mock viva. I sent him the introduction and the conclusion. Today, he sent me the text with lot of silly typing mistakes and wrote that if you want to dicuss them feel free to call me. The result is that I am too sad and disappointed.
Hello, many thanks for your replies. I am still working on the my Viva presentation. This is my plan:
- thanks for the jury 30 sec
- practical importance of the topic
- the definition of the principle I studied
- the case- law I worked on and the number of cases against Switzerland (where I am doing my PhD)
- the objects of the study
- main findings
- recommendations
- up to date information, mentioned the judgements that were delivered after I submitted my thesis 1min
Any advice? I am still not know what to talk about methodology. Is it enough to mention thay I mainly relied on the interpretation of the principle by the case-law of two treaty bodies. I compare between their related case-law to define which of them provide better protection and to what extent there is an interaction between these two bodies.
Hello all,
please does anyone have access to these articles
