One Cambridge professor has created a website - called I-Want-To-Study-Engineering.org - to showcase the types of questions an applicant would see in an interview. The questions cover a range of topics, but skew towards math and science fields.

Professor Richard Prager, who heads the engineering department, told the Daily Mail, "I-Want-To-Study-Engineering.org aims to level the playing field by providing a collection of technical interview questions that everyone can use for practice."
