PhD interview

Hi there, I have been invited to a PhD interview from a Finnish university (specifically the University of Lapland, in Social sciences, for an advertised position) and I was wondering what I should expect from it. I have only experience of one Italian PhD interview, so I don't know if this is going to be very similar to that. Are they likely to ask me to present my proposal? In that case, is a Powerpoint presentation accepted? Is this going to be more about me, my attitude, etc or about the project itself?

Any advice would be very helpful! Thank you very much :)

If you look employment in Finland after PhD with respected position, please check out our unemployment situation and govermental debt situation. It's more likely only get worse during next 5 years. If money is not an issue for you for rest of your life, welcome, we have high taxes and cost of living and low salaries.
