Hey thanks for the reply, I live in Newcastle so moving quite far away! My potential supervisor is called Dr Claire Shearman, thanks for telling me about the interview procedure. I had a feeling thats what they would talk about. Sounds like a nice place

Informal Interviews over the phone
M

Well they said they were going to phone as a kind of informal interview kind of thing but a) they never said when and b) the never said anything about details of labs I haven't done in over 2 years now. Was just so out of the blue when she asked for specific procedures to some labs! I managed to answer some of it but feel as though I slipped up!
