Hey everyone, thank you for taking the time and reading my thread. I was shortlisted for a PhD I applied a few days ago and next week I have to do an interview which will consist of a presentation, questions from the committee and where they will explain something extra regarding the project.

The presentation will consist on some general info about me, my background, my previous research experience that can help me with that specific project, my strong and weak points regarding the project, why I chose that specific position and why that specific university.

I am nervous because the topic of the PhD is fairly new to me and I already stated that in my cover letter so I dont really know how to respond to my former research experience which will help me with that project. Now I am anxious actually and I have difficulties answering to everything.

Is there any suggestions that can help me do good in the interview even though I dont have knowledge on that topic yet and do not have any former experience regarding it? Thank you !
