Hello - welcome back!

Today I'm talking about my experience of the interview process at the University of Cambridge for my PhD I'm currently doing!

It is a scary experience and I'm hoping hearing some of the questions you might be asked and my top tips for preparing and answering them will be useful! Interviews are scary - but this experience was no different from any research interview I have had before, so don't fret! :)
