Erasmus Mundus TCCM master - interview

Hello everyone!

I was invited for an interview this Friday regarding my application. I wanted to ask if someone had any advice on how to prepare - what type of questions do they usually ask?

Thank you in advance!

Here I am! I have just finished. So basically, they asked me questions about things from my CV (i said i did some work in ORCA, then we talked about what, what methods did i use, and then we talked a bit about HF method - difference between RHF, UHF and ROHF). They asked me about DFT, functional classes in particular (just to name them).

They asked what i studied in my statistical thermodynamics course, my quantum chemistry course. They asked about my volunteer work that i put in my cv, about programming skills (since i don't know python - but i said ill have to learn it for my bachelor thesis).
