Practical information.
The actual interview lasts approximately 30 minutes; the language used for the interviews is usually English. Departmental Panels require candidates to give an oral presentation of their work and interests. There are no written tests set by the departments.
During the interview period, all interviewees, except English native-speakers, sit a compulsory written and oral test in English; this also pertains to those candidates who are already in possession of an English language proficiency certificate. The outcome does not have a direct impact on the interview result, although the interviewing panel may recommend that the candidate improves his/her language competence before registration.
Each language test takes about 90 minutes and may be taken on the same day of the interview or at any time over the interview period without an appointment.
In cases where candidates need to be proficient in another (more) language(s) for their specific research, short-listed candidates will be informed by the Language Centre of the additional language test(s)
Further details are posted on the website of the Language Centre .
Both successful candidates and reserve candidates are informed of the outcome of their interview by e-mail. The final results are known in May. Successful candidates should reply to their offer by a specified date.
