Top UK Academics
Draw upon the expertise of a leading academic to navigate your viva. Their personalised advice will empower you to respond to questions confidently, showcasing the significance of your research.
Expert Support to Help You Navigate Your PhD Viva
Even with a strong thesis, it’s perfectly normal to feel uncertain about your final oral exam. While some supervisors provide thorough guidance at this stage, many candidates are left to face it alone. That’s where we come in. From mock viva sessions to strategic mentoring, we will equip you with all the strategies you need to walk into the room with confidence on one of the most important days of your academic career.
PhD Viva Service Features
With expert academic guidance, our service prepares you for every aspect of your viva. You'll work one-to-one with an academic who will explain the structure of the viva and how to manage the flow of the discussion. Together, you'll identify any areas of your thesis that may need strengthening, and prepare responses to likely questions through mock viva sessions receiving direct, tailored feedback. We typically recommend booking between 5 and 10 one-hour sessions, but the service is fully flexible and can be tailored to your individual needs.
100% Bespoke Approach
No two vivas are the same, which is why our service is fully bespoke. During your sessions you can focus on what you feel least confident about, whether that’s defending your chosen methodology, discussing your theoretical framework, or navigating questions about the impact and further development of your topic through a mock viva. The experience of your academic ensures that your preparation is not only subject-specific but also aligned with the expectations of the examiners in a real viva panel.
Work with Leading UK Academics
Since 2006, we’ve built a reliable network of more than 800 PhD-qualified academics. With first-hand experience of the viva, they will help you prepare in a way that’s both strategic and realistic. And because they are experts in your field, they will be able to challenge you constructively, suggesting how to defend your research in the most credible way.
How much will your PhD viva preparation sessions cost?

Frequently Asked Questions
How do PhD viva one-to-one sessions work?
Sessions are delivered online via Zoom Whiteboard, allowing you to work directly with your academic from the comfort of your home. Each session is tailored to your specific needs, from refining your arguments and addressing gaps in your thesis to going through a mock viva. The format is one-to-one, so you’ll always receive personalised support throughout your preparation.
Will my academic be familiar with my subject area?
Absolutely. We’ve been in business since 2006, and over the years we’ve built a trusted network of skilled academics across a wide range of subjects. All our academics hold a PhD and have significant experience in their field. We’ll match you with someone who has subject-specific expertise relevant to your thesis, ensuring they can guide you effectively through your viva preparation.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes, at Oxbridge Essays we offer flexible instalment plans to make managing project costs easier. PayPal offers a three-instalment plan for orders between £30 and £2,000, with the first payment made at the point of purchase and the other two payments spaced evenly over two months. Thanks to our partnership with Klarna, you can also choose interest-free payment options for projects up to £4,000. If Klarna or PayPal aren’t available in your country, or if you'd prefer another option, speak with your Academic Consultant to set up a plan that works for you.
Is your PhD viva support service confidential?
Yes, absolutely. All discussions, notes, and documents shared during your viva preparation are treated with strict confidentiality. From the moment you're matched with your academic, both your personal details and your research findings remain private.
Are online PhD viva preparation tutorials recorded?
Yes, sessions are recorded with your consent so that you can review them later as part of your preparation. These recordings can be especially helpful for reflecting on your responses and tracking your progress. You can request for recordings to be deleted at any time, and we will remove all associated data promptly, in line with our privacy policy.
Do I need to provide my full thesis before starting?
That would be helpful. Sharing your full thesis, or perhaps only a few key sections you would like to focus on, will allow your academic to offer more targeted and effective support. You’ll be able to upload documents after placing your order, so they can begin reviewing them before your session.
