I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at University of Cambridge (London, England) in Jan 2023
Interview
3 Interviews for 20 minutes. Asked prepared questions on program topic. One writing exercise like essay on a defined topic for a 20 minutes. Short (approx 2 minutes) introduction about your research background. It was friendly, but profeccional, a good experience anyway
I had a online meeting (30min) with potential supervisor and another professor in the department. They asked details about my research plan and feasibility, and etc.. You need to prepare to answer to detailed questions
30 minutes interview with standard questions such as motivation and your future plan. Good to read few academic papers that are relevant and not relevant to your field. Be prepared to talk about it.
