Candidate-reported interview process

They started with general questions about your background, then moved on to your areas of interest, why you're drawn to this specific project. After that, they gave an overview of the project and let you ask any questions you had.

The interview for the Doctoral Researcher position was professional and academically rigorous. It was conducted online by a panel of potential supervisors. The atmosphere was encouraging, emphasizing both research methodology and personal motivation for the academic path.

I had to record a video interview with 3 questions, and each answer had a 1 minute time limit. It was okay, but I found it tough to fit all my thoughts into just 1 minute. I was given 4 or 5 days to submit the recorded answers.
