Positive experience

Average interview

Application

I interviewed at Durham University (Durham, England)

Interview

Pleasant, and well-structured. Consisted of an interpretation task, and an opportunity to present, followed by a classic interview panel consisting of 3 panel members. Most of my difficulty arose from interpersonal difficulties, stemming from neurodiversity and complex mental health disorders, but the panel was fairly understanding.
