- Notes
- To the OII/Social Data Science MSc applicants below: I can only speak for my experience with the DPhil interview panel, but hopefully I can provide a bit of guidance on what to expect. The questions I was asked over a c. 45 min Skype interview: tell us about the most interesting or unexpected finding you came across in your recent publication; what is it that makes your proposed study unique or important; apart from the supervisor you have proposed, are there any other faculty in the department that you could see yourself working with, and if so why; how did you hear about the OII; what are your long-term career and personal ambitions. I think that's about it! More than anything, be prepared to stand your ground and defend your interest in whatever topic it is that most floats your boat - they're a friendly bunch, but will gently test your passion/understanding of the topic at hand rather than merely take your responses at face value, smile, and move on.
