    Each university will have its research proposal guidelines and structure (depending on the research area and whether you are applying for a graduate assistantship, etc.).

    PhD research proposals are unlike personal statements, which usually have a standard structure.

    At a bare minimum, a research proposal should include:

    • A short abstract of about 300-500 words that summarises your overall project.
    • A clear introduction which states the issue(s) you want to research, including how you will tackle them.
    • Aims and objectives and your proposed contributions to knowledge/impact.
    • Provide a relevant literature review that helps distinguish your PhD project from existing PhDs and academic literature.
    • Include your proposed research methodology.
    • A draft outline of your chapters.
    • A draft timeline for the work needed to complete your PhD.

    Do reach out to the university to find out what they specifically require.
