Writing your research proposal

Within six months full-time study (or twelve months of part-time study), all research degree candidates must submit a comprehensive research proposal as part of the formal requirement for the completion of the degree.

While the research proposal will be loosely based on the research outline you prepared for admission to the degree, it should provide a more comprehensive guide to the literature, the method and methodology, and the structure, and timeframe of your research. The research proposal is used to assess whether your research is do-able, as well as whether your progress has been satisfactory. It is a major reference point in the Planning and Review process.
