HOW DO I WRITE A RESEARCH PROPOSAL?

A PhD PROPOSAL

Your Research Proposal

-

-

-

How do I prepare for a postgraduate interview?

• -

-

Your research proposal must passionately articulate what you want to research and why, convey your under-standing of existing literature, and clearly define at least one original question and your approach to answering it. Research proposals are usually 1,500-3000 words in length. While it must be well-structured, your research proposal should retain sufficient flexibility to comfort-ably accommodate any changes that you need to make as your PhD progresses.Layout and formats vary, so it’s advisable to consult your potential supervisor before beginning. Here’s what most research proposals include…1. Title pageYour provisional title should be around ten words in length, and clearly and accurately indicate your area of study.The title page should also include personal information, such as your name, academic title, date of birth, nation-ality and contact details.2. Aims and objectivesThis is a short summary of your project. Your aims should be two or three broad statements that empha-sise what you ultimately want to achieve, complement-ed by several focused, feasible and measurable objec-tives.3. Literature reviewThis section discusses the most important theories, models and texts that surround and influence your research questions, conveying your understanding and awareness of the key issues and debates. It should also focus on the theoretical and practical knowledge gaps that your work aims to address, as this ultimately justi-fies and provides the motivation for your project.

4. MethodologyThis section outlines how you’ll answer each of your research questions. A strong, well-written methodology is always crucial, but especially so if your project involves extensive collection and significant analysis of primary data.The methodology identifies the data collection and analytical techniques that are available to you, before justifying the ones you’ll use in greater detail. You’ll also define the population that you’re intending to examine.You should also show that you’re aware of the limita-tions of your research, qualifying the parameters that you plan to introduce. Remember: it’s more impressive to do a fantastic job of exploring a narrower topic than a decent job of exploring a wider one.5. TimetableConcluding or following on from your methodology, your timetable should identify how long you’ll need to complete each individual step - perhaps using bi-week-ly or monthly timeslots. This helps the reader to evalu-ate the feasibility of your project.6. BibliographyFinally, you’ll provide a list of the most significant texts.

Many postgraduate courses ask applicants to attend an interview as part of the selection process. Knowing how to prepare and perform well at these can make all the difference.Refresh your understanding of the course and university, so you can clearly articulate why you chose to apply there. You should also ensure that you’re familiar with everything you wrote in your application, and explain how you’ll pay for the course and where you plan to live. You should also think about any questions that you have for them.You can’t be 100% sure what you’ll be asked. How-ever, there are a number of topics that you can safely assume will come up.

Academic interests - this could include why you chose your under graduate degree, why you chose your dissertation topic, and what modules you enjoyed and performed well in. You want to show genuine interest in your subject, and how what you’ve studied so far has prepared you for studying at a higher level.Academic knowledge - this is something you’ll have to prepare for.Career goals - explain how you plan to become successful and be as specific as possible. Set yourself goals for the next five or ten years.Experience - if the course is relatively vocational, the interview may focus more on your experi-ence than on your academic background.Funding - tell the interviewer what funding mea-sures you have in place.Reasons for choosing the course and university - show that you’ve researched the institution and course, explaining how it has impressed youStrengths and weaknesses - list your best skills and provide evidence. If asked about your weak-ness, mention one attribute that you’re looking to develop.
