PhD Interview in a Week - HELP!

M

Hi everyone,

I've got a Phd interview in Bristol in a week and am getting quite stressed about it. It's somewhere I really want to go, as it's the best place in the UK (if not further afield) to do research into the area in which I'm interested. However, it's one of those places where you apply to the centre, and for for a specific project. I have 8 interviews of 20 minutes each and am worried what they might ask me. Because I'll be seeing about 15 potential supervisors, it seems impossible to read up thoroughly on all their research. I'm ok talking about why I want to do a PhD, what I want in the future, and about my dissertation and current work, but am still very nervous indeed.

Any advice much appreciated...

I forgot to add that I have a first from a good university, good A levels, and am currently working in a lab for a year to gain experience...

wow it sounds like you are on track. Just know all about your honours project and about why you want to do a phd and read over the outline of each project. If you have a first that a really good start.
