I have not, but it makes sense. Based on last years information. Because of UK holidays, you could expect this year to start 4 days later. I imagine early next week.

Invite was sent on Tuesday, I was just asked to give my availability and I mentioned that I work a 9-5 and would be commuting the rest of the week so it would be tough. I think it varies by professor I remember seeing that some professors just give a timeslot but mine was pretty flexible. I applied to Computer Architecture and Programming Languages, interview is with the latter.

Congrats and good luck? Are you applying as a home student and when did you submit your application?

Future international (non-UK) applicant. I’d love to hear your advice and suggestions, if you don’t mind.

Did anyone other than the Computer Architecture and Programming Languages group, get an interview call? I particularly applied to system software and mentioned my second core specialisation as robotics. Bit nervous since its been over a week since when interviews were to have started and still no change in status of my application.

This is my first year applying, I think my interview was on the earlier side but I'd imagine we'll start seeing some more interview invites in the next couple weeks
