Clarification
Writing your
research proposal
Your proposal will
likely comprise the headings listed below, though exactly how much importance
you give to each section, and whether you include all these sections will
depend on what your area of academic interest is and your specific research
topic.
As already
indicated above, note that PhD proposals are not fully binding. As your work
progresses, your ideas will mature, resulting in your research taking a
slightly different form from that which you envisaged at the start.
Nonetheless, you will be committed to the area – in broad terms – that you
identity in your proposal.
Working
title/abstract
The title should
describe the nature of your project. Do not give uninformative titles. Often
students indicate the nature of their approach in the title, for example
indicating a comparative study or if a particular theoretical framework is
adopted. Being clear helps the School identify appropriate supervisors.
An abstract, should
you wish to include one, should be included immediately following the title and
should be a short, succinct summary of the proposal.
Overview (statement
of topic and problem)
This section should
identify the general subject area and how your proposed thesis fits in with
this general field, explaining why it is significant/important and stating
briefly what contribution to the field it will make and its likely impact.
Assessors will be looking for clear focus, identifying the problem.
Aims and research
questions
Having identified
your research topic you should specify the aims of your research, what research
questions or hypotheses you will address and how answering these will
contribute to your chosen field.
Literature review
A critical, initial
review of the relevant and related literature is required, to indicate your understanding
of what is already known and understood, and how this in-turn informs your
research questions.
Methods/approach
and timescale of research
An important aspect
of your proposal is to identify how you intend carrying out your research, to
address its aims and questions. Different research topics will use different
methods, which you should describe and justify. For example, you might develop
and evaluate a novel algorithm, tool or method; you might undertake detailed
quantitative or qualitative studies of technologies in use. Be clear regarding
the outcome of the various methods you will apply and demonstrate that you have
considered the feasibility of your chosen approach.
It is important at
this stage for you to demonstrate that the research you intend to undertake can
be realistically fit within the time frame of a PhD, which is three years
full-time (plus a further one year writing-up, submission and viva). Different
academics will likely have different expectations here. Some will likely require
quite a detailed plan of how you will conduct your research over the course of
a PhD, while others will require less detail.
References
You should list all
the publications and any other sources you have cited in your proposal as
references at the end. The
Harvard referencing system is used in the School and should be used for the
proposal; it is likely that you will be familiar with this system as it is
widely used. Howeve if you have not used this system before, or feel you need
to refresh your knowledge,
APA or the Harvard citation can be used
