Notes:
- The VIVA committee consisted of Prof. Christina Mori from University of Cape Town and Dr. Simon Mabon from Lancaster University.
- The oral exam (also oral test or viva voce) is a practice in many schools and disciplines in which an examiner poses questions to the student in spoken form. The student has to answer the question in such a way as to demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the subject to pass the exam.
