InterviewI interviewed at University of Cambridge
Asked about my undergrad experience, previous work experience, and then many academic questions relating to my proposed research. Friendly interviewers and they made me feel comfortable even online. I interviewed from abroad with a significant time difference, and they took this into account when scheduling.
