Can anyone give some examples of questions asked by a supervisor for a PhD studentship. I have interview soon. Help please

G

they might ask- 'when are you gonna stop boring us and go home?' 'or were you born this stupid?',

G

To Stu. I can see that you were born that stupid!!!

G

If you use the forum search function you'll find many examples as this question is asked all the time.

G

C, thank you for your help

G

Ok Jude, that was such a witty comeback I can see how you are an 'academic'.

G

I can generally recommend that when asked the "Where do you see yourself in 5/10 years time" that you don't answer with "Doing your job"

G

Lewis: that same answer GOT me my PhD in the first place, many moons ago. I will normally ask some science qu's, some motivation qu's and some skills qu's and some committment qu's. I'm not interested in taking on the best scientists. I want people who can and will turn themselves into tbe best scientists.

So, she's Dutch, she's a scientist, she likes evolution, and she likes to take on science students. We're edging closer!
