FAQ's

What are VIVAs?

Viva exams, are a unique and interactive form of assessment. Unlike traditional written tests, viva exams require candidates to verbally demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of a subject. During these assessments, students engage in a dialogue with examiners, answering questions and defending their viewpoints. This format not only tests the depth of a student's knowledge but also their ability to think critically and articulate their thoughts clearly under pressure.

Are OSPE's always included in the VIVAs?

Objective Structured Practical Examinations (OSPEs) are tailored uniquely for each subject. For instance, during the Physiology Viva, students remain seated in one location as OSPE questions are projected onto a screen, enabling them to analyze and respond to various scenarios. In contrast, the Anatomy Viva requires students to rotate through multiple stations, each presenting a distinct practical task to assess their anatomical expertise. Notably, the Biochemistry Viva does not incorporate OSPEs, opting instead for alternative assessment methods.

How are VIVAs conducted in Module Exams

Each day is dedicated to a single subject, enabling students to concentrate fully on one area of study at a time. For example, one group might be scheduled for a Physiology Viva, while another group focuses on their Anatomy Viva.

How are VIVAs conducted in Professional Exams?

Professional examinations are conducted in a structured and efficient manner, typically completed within a single day. During vivas, candidates rotate through multiple stations, each dedicated to a specific subject, such as Physiology or Anatomy, ensuring a thorough assessment of their knowledge and skills across all modules. To enhance the evaluation process, Objective Structured Practical Examinations (OSPEs) are seamlessly integrated into the viva format. A detailed outline of each station is conveniently provided above for clarity and guidance.
