Hi, I have been shortlisted for an interview for a funded PhD in Reading (Psychology). Has anyone else had an interview with this university? I know that PhD interviews vary across universities, so I was wondering whether anyone had been there. I am still to get emailed the interview process and I don't know what that could imply. I feel confident because I know the subject very well but I know there should be other factors I should start thinking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Evakimou, good luck! Do you have more info about the intervierw process yet?

Hi Reenie, thank you very much, Yes I have been emailed about the process. They had asked from us to write a proposal on the project (it is a given PhD topic) so they said we are going to be asked about that plus any projects for our bachelor's or master. So, I have reminded myself for both of them and I know inside out what I have proposed to them:) I have read about the department and the supervisor, I am not sure what else I should do. I have seen that in their uni most phd students were their masters students. Well not all of them but many of them. I am wondering now whether it is a priori a lost case and they are going to select a student of theirs. On the other hand, I don't think that's rational and I know that it's mostly my stress speaking. I have posted elsewhere the question but no answer. Any experience /advice on that?

Stay positive, it's impossible to second guess the interview panel, so just do your best. You sound prepared! Best of luck.

Can anyone else offer first hand advice for Evakimou?
