Hi there all, i have been invited to a uni to discuss my research proposal further with a potential supervisor and the programme director. I approached them and after email discussions they have asked me down. I havent formally applied, eg completed the application form yet.

I will be doing the PhD part time, which they are fully aware of.

Has anyone any suggestions of we might discuss, if this is like a first stage interview. Any advice would be great!

Sounds like your potential supervisor wants to have an informal chat about your proposal and plans. If this goes well and your supervisor thinks your ideas would make a viable PhD project (which he or she probably does since they have invited you for the chat) they will invite you to make a full application for PhD when you will more than likely have a more formal interview.

Thanks, I am reading everything I can get my hands on about PhD's, Im trying to get plenty of notes and things together.
