A journey that began nearly four years ago is gradually reaching a significant milestone for nine students of the Millar Institute for Transdisciplinary and Development Studies (MITDS), following the successful completion of their viva examinations.
The nine students, comprising seven PhD candidates and two Master of Philosophy (MPhil) candidates, successfully completed their viva process, which commenced on Monday, October 12, 2026, and concluded on Wednesday, October 14, 2026.
The exercise marked an important stage in the students’ academic journeys, bringing them closer to the completion of their respective postgraduate programmes after years of dedication, research, and academic commitment.
The viva examinations were conducted professionally by the institution, with the participation of both internal and external examiners. Students of the institute and other observers were also present online and some physically present to witness the academic exercise.
The process provided an opportunity for the candidates to present and defend their research work before the examining panels, demonstrating their knowledge, research findings, and understanding of their respective areas of study.
