Fellowship Interviews

Most fellowships require you to have an interview to show how you can carry out the proposed research and why they should give you the funding. 

During this course, you will look at examples of ‘invitation to interview’ letters from a variety of funders and explore different types of requests for interview presentations.

Importantly, you will look at interview questions and prepare answers, developing answers that showcase your achievements. 

This course is designed for research staff planning to apply for a fellowship and is also open to doctoral candidates aiming for an academic career.
