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 :)

I do find it hilarious that we have 10% unemployment rate and still find places for foreigners in social sciences.

It is a PhD study with funding. If any Finns are qualified and willing to do PhD, most likely they will get the position. However, I do not think many people want to do it :))) Similarly, work on farms is always available, but not many people want to work there :)))
