I applied online. I interviewed at University of Cambridge in Jan 2019
Interview
Started out easy with some questions about my interests and why I applied for this specific department. Later they asked some more difficult questions about the research topic that I initially struggled with. However, they gave me pointers and enough time to think for me to come up with reasonable guesses.
