Research proposal

Off

The research proposal is an essential component of your application as it plays a significant role when we evaluate your application. The proposal is usually also essential if you need to apply for funding to pay your fees or support yourself whilst doing your research. Funding bodies will often need to be reassured that you are committed to a viable project at a suitable university.

Although students can alter their research topic after arriving at 91Ö±²¥, research proposal helps us to make sure that:

  • The topic is viable.
  • The school can provide appropriate supervision and other necessary support.
  • You have thought through your research interests.
  • You are a suitable candidate for the PhD programme.

We strongly suggest discussing your proposal with a potential supervisor in the school before applying through the online system.

We have prepared a template for the research proposal. Please use this template in your application.
