All other things being equal (project, supervisor etc.) then would itbe better for your future to take an Astrophysics PhD position inOxford or Cavendish at Cambridge? Or does it not make a great deal of difference?

Thank you!

I unofficially have a PhD place at a great university to study an area of research in Physics that is not quite in the area that really interests me.

How easily do people "move around" with their research after their PhD? I am interested in Dark Matter, and my PhD would be working on Gamma Ray Astronomy for anyone who is interested! Should I stick with the great university and supervisor in a related subject in the hope of moving later in my career, or should I get a place at maybe a lesser university, but in the exact area of interest?

Thank you for any replies,

Hi everyone,

I have a phd interview in the particle physics department at Oxford soon. I have been told that there will be particle physics questions and general physics questions. I just wondered if anyone had any experience of this and could offer advice on what to expect and how to prepare.

Thank you in advance of any replies posted.
