1. Tell me about yourself. 2. Why do you want this PhD in Durham instead of other University. 3. What do you think you could bring to our team? 4. What makes you a strong candidate for this PhD? 5. You said you are a team-player, what kinds of difficult you have encountered during your team work? 6. A scientific question about the program. (Which I was so nervous so I couldn't make it)
