Preparing for your oral examination

ANU has introduced oral exams for HDR candidates. In an oral exam, you meet your examiners via Zoom and answer questions about your work. These exams are compulsory for new starters after July, but people who are currently enrolled have the option to be examined this way too. Come along to this session to learn what is involved in doing an oral exam and how to prepare yourself. Lunch will be provided
