1, introduce yourself

This is a compulsory topic in every interview, and it is also a good question to ease the tension and warm up the field. In fact, the tutor has read the resume and already knows something about the students. Therefore, as long as the introduction content is consistent with the resume, the expression is smooth and the thinking is clear. Of course, if you can highlight your personal characteristics in a minute or two, it will be better to impress the teacher.

2. Why do you want to study for a PhD?

The interview teacher will try to find out your motivation, desire and attitude towards the degree in the future. In fact, this question corresponds to what is research interest. There are two main reasons for foreigners to study PhD, one is for a better career, and the other is interest. There is always nothing wrong with being interested when answering.

3. Why did you choose this tutor?

When answering this question, it is of course possible to kiss the tutor's ass. No one doesn't like being praised. But what the tutor wants to know more is how much you know about the future research field, such as how many schools or units are in the leading position in this research field and what are the different research priorities? Finally, what are the characteristics of the research group where the tutor is located?

4. Introduction and achievements of previous projects.

It will be much easier to answer if the topics I have done before are consistent with the research direction of the doctor. Combined with the past research results and future research direction, talk about the importance of the subject and the influence of the results.

It doesn't matter if the topics you have done before are very different from the future direction. When describing them, highlight your learning ability and what skills you finally acquired, and what kind of help will it have for your future work. If this question is answered well and deeply, it will greatly affect the interviewer's judgment on you.

5. What is the proudest thing you have done?

Remember that this is an academic interview, and the answers should be limited to majors, such as what articles have been published and what meetings have been attended, not to mention those social skills.

6. Have you taken any related courses?

And what are the skills related to the future research direction? In fact, ability, as long as you are confident, is an expert. Many skills are universal, such as programming ability, the use of experimental instruments and so on, which can be answered.

7. What are your plans after graduation, academia or industry? Or what are your plans for the next few years?

Most students do not have a clear career plan when applying for a doctorate, and they all apply step by step. But it doesn't matter if you encounter this problem, because this problem can be equated with the prospect of your research field. As long as you are familiar with the background of the research field, you will know what the application value is and what problems are worth solving.

8. Why do you want to resign for postgraduate study?

A: Maybe, I was born restless. /kloc-started work on 0/994. At that time, the family was very poor, so the desire to change the family was particularly strong. So I quit my job in a state-owned enterprise and/kloc-0 came to Guangdong in the spring of 1998. Three or five years after arriving in Guangdong, we fought an economic turnaround.

When people solve the basic problem of survival, their desire and sustenance for the spirit will surface and they will begin to feel the joy of learning that is not in life. When you are dissatisfied with your life, the first thing you can think of is change, and postgraduate entrance examination is a way to close the distance between people and thought itself, which is a complete change from the original pursuit of material and impetuous spirit.

I think working in a foreign company makes people have no time to think, just like a machine. My ideal is to have the opportunity to work in colleges and universities in the future. For this pursuit, I chose to spend at least 10 years to complete the goal of studying for a PhD. People should pursue something.
