At Lancaster the supervisor is
not normally present, but can be if the candidate wishes and if the examiners
agree to this. In which case, he/she is there as a silent witness

Colleagues,
Can I ask whether at your
institution the candidate’s PhD supervisor is allowed to be present at the viva
voce and, if so, under what conditions?
Regards,
Pól.
