Event Abstract

"Congratulations! You’ve been selected for an interview."

Receiving a PhD interview invitation is an exciting milestone, but it often brings a wave of immediate questions: What are the essential next steps after receiving an invitation? How can you thoroughly prepare to address every question from the admissions committee with confidence? What should you expect during interview social events? How do interview structures differ between North American and European PhD programs, and why is the interview ultimately a two-way selection process?

This webinar features three guest speakers from the fields of Psychological Science, Biophysics, and Biomedical Engineering who possess extensive experience navigating PhD applications and interviews in both North America and Europe. They will share firsthand insights on every stage of the process—from receiving the initial invitation and structuring your preparation to navigating distinct institutional formats.

Whether you are currently preparing PhD applications, facing upcoming interviews, or seeking early insights into overseas doctoral admissions, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to navigate the interview process with poise and confidence. Join us to take full control of your interview journey.
