PhD interview (physics)

Hello all! In two weeks I have an interview for a PhD in physics. I have to give a presentation, meet members of the group and there’s an interview element. 

I’m pretty confident with the first two requirements but have no idea how to prepare for the interview as my PhD friends are in the arts and had no interviews. 

Any advice on what to prepare? My grades are pretty standard but I have quite a good life with a job, volunteering etc so I feel I may need to flaunt that a little because there’ll be more academic candidates (I guess). 

Any advice would be much appreciated - this is my top choice! (I do have other offers)

It's essentially a job interview and you should treat it as such. You can prepare in  by considering how you'll articulate what you want to do, why you want to do it, and why you're a good candidate.  They'll probably want to see evidence that you have some familiarity with the field and the problems you'll face, an idea of what doing research is like, and a decent grasp of the technical and soft skills required to succeed.
