Hi Everyone,
I have an interview for a PhD next week. The topic has been shortlisted for funding and a named student is needed. So basically I am applying to be named student and, hopefully, be successful. This is my dream topic and I desperately want it. So my question is...
How best to present my self? What am I likely to get asked? How can I best convince them that I want it? Unfortunately the stipend is very generous in comparison with many (circa £16,000) which must inevitably increase the competition.
Also, the topic has been shortlisted. Does anybody know how many projects usually get shortlisted? And, consequently, how good/bad the chances are???
Thanks for your help - stressing out just thinking about it!
