Hi, I received an interview for this course, and I was wondering if anyone would be able to share their experience. What was your interview like, and what sorts of questions should I expect?

Hi, I received an interview for this course, and I was wondering if anyone has had experience interviewing for a Cambridge postgraduate program in general or for this program specifically. What was your experience like, and what can I expect?

I've had my interview. It's nothing you wouldn't expect aside from standard grad school interview questions. Just make sure you know your own research experiences well and are ready to explain some details! x

Thank you for taking them time to respond! Did they ask you a lot of detailed technical questions about your research? and would you say it's necessary to know your interviewer's research (i.e. have read the research papers of the interviewers)?

yeah, saw that, it's a shame there aren't more entries hahaha

Judging by what's on GradCafe (which is one entry only, for 2020 entry) they were accepted on 21 Feb, so I guess we might not hear anything any time soon

Hi everyone, thank you for sharing your experience. I would like to ask - how much time is it between receiving an invitation for an interview and the interview itself? And is there a possibility to choose the date of the interview? Thanks .

for me it was roughly 4-5 days before, and they do ask if you're available so if you'd prefer a different time I guess it's possible to negotiate
