PhD interview

B

Hi folks,

I was wondering, what sort of questions do you get asked at a PhD interview, as I have one pretty soon.

Cheers.

I got asked a lot of questions about my final year project, the experiments I was doing and how everything was set up i.e did my supervisor have a lot to do with the way I ran experiments. I was also asked why I wanted to study for a PhD, what I planned to do after I was done and why I picked their university. Other questions were related to my course and what subjects I cover and the type of course work I've completed.

This website has some example questions you might get asked: http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/ssds/sd/careers/plan/further-study/interviews/example-questions

Hope that helps.

That's great, thanks!
