    I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at University of Cambridge (Cambridge, East of England, England) in March 2013.

    Interview

    1-day onsite interview. Tour through the lab facilities and face-to-face interviews with individual staff. It required me to know the details of the research they were doing. Tip: you need to be sure about the basics of the experimental physics because you get asked.
