Viva Preparation Tool for Universities — VivaCoach

Give your postgraduate students the best chance of passing their viva. VivaCoach is an AI-powered mock viva tool that reads each student's thesis and generates personalised questions, follow-ups, and detailed feedback — just like a real oral examination.

What is VivaCoach?

VivaCoach simulates a real viva voce examination, tailored to each student's thesis. The software reads the full thesis, identifies core arguments, methodology, and potential weaknesses, then generates realistic examiner-style questions across three difficulty levels.

How it works

1. Upload thesis

Students upload their thesis as PDF, DOCX, or plain text. VivaCoach analyses the full document — arguments, methodology, literature, and potential weaknesses.

2. AI-generated questions

Questions are generated across warm-up, standard, and hostile difficulty levels, targeting the specific content of the student's research.

3. Socratic follow-up questions

When a student's answer is weak or incomplete, the AI asks probing follow-up questions — guiding them towards a stronger response, just like a real examiner.

4. Model answers and feedback

After each question, students receive a model answer, a detailed score breakdown, and specific guidance on what to improve.

Why recommend VivaCoach to your students?

Most students go into their viva with no structured practice. VivaCoach gives them unlimited, personalised preparation that adapts to their specific thesis and degree level.

VivaCoach

5 practice sessions at any difficulty level, a 3-round mock viva simulation (warm-up, standard, hostile examiner), and a personalised cheat sheet summarising key talking points.
