Examining Committee or Jury


Explanation:
Se for a banca examinadora de uma defesa de tese é isso.

One of the requirements for certain advanced degrees is often an oral examination. This examination normally occurs after the dissertation is finished but before it is submitted to the university, and may comprise a presentation by the student and questions posed by an examining committee or jury. In North America, this examination is known as a thesis defence, while in England and other English-speaking countries it is called a viva voce.
