History - Christchurch

This was a two day interview. The first interview was with two academics and seemed to lack a lot of structure, more of a general chat. It started off with one of the academics asking what my favourite part of history was and then asking why I liked it. They then went into a little more detail about the topic which I had chosen. I would suggest choosing more wisely than I did.

I was then sent away with a few document on late C19 French history. I was given about a day to look over the documents and use the library to gain more background to the pieces.

The interview went through these documents, asking about the historical background, what I had inferred from the pieces and analysis of the details. This was a much more structured and therefore possibly easier interview.
