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

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

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

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

C, thank you for your help

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

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"

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!
