So, within the first 9 months, or so, of registration I need to be ready to submit a Research Proposal for the DPhil.
Given what I have read from other proposals the structure is generally as follows:
Introduction
Research Questions*
Literature Review
(Split into themes eg field, theory, methodology, application)
Pilot Study*
Aims
Methodology
Categorisation
Method
Analysis
Findings
Project proposal
Research goal
Methodology
Scope
Proposed Studies
Project Schedule (and chart/table etc.)
Conclusion
Exposure*
Future Work*
Bibliography
(* = Nice if I can add but not necessary)
The length seems to vary from 8,000 to 14,000 on average.
I'd best get cracking.
