I interviewed at University of Exeter (Exeter, England)
Interview
Application followed by group interview. Key thing is being an active listener and very engaged - the questions they ask each person definitely unfairly vary by difficulty though. Worth preparing what you can.

Interview
I had a really positive interview experience overall. The interviewers were friendly and made me feel comfortable right from the start, which helped create a relaxed and open atmosphere. We had great chemistry throughout the conversation, and it felt more like a genuine discussion than a formal interview.
I left the interview feeling confident and honestly thought I had a strong chance of getting the role. Even though it didn’t work out in the end, I still appreciated the experience. It was a great atmosphere, and the team came across as welcoming and professional.
