In this course, you will learn exactly what goes into a research proposal so that your research will be approved and you will have created an excellent groundwork for the rest of your study. The more effort you put into your proposal document, the better prepared you will be for the next stages of your degree. In this course are lessons, assignments, quizzes and much more; not only will you learn how to complete a research proposal but you will also make progress on your own proposal.

  • Learn the importance of background reading and how to use questions and note-taking to be more effective in covering the relevant literature

  • I'll walk you through my own successful Ph.D. proposal document so you can get inspiration and see exactly what I did at that stage of my study

  • Approach your proposal by answering 3 questions: What are you going to study, why are you going to study it and how are you going to do it

  • There are lessons and assignments for each of these 3 aspects and you will actually make progress by working on each of these sections

  • There's a whiteboard lesson that gives you an overall approach to your research proposal and an overview of everything you need to know

  • In another whiteboard lesson, I'll teach you the importance of good thesis statements and how to create one

  • A good thesis statement is like a North Star for your research; if you do it really well it will guide you through to successful completion

  • Learn how to approach doing a presentation of your proposal; you can even use the assignments you complete in this course as talking points

  • I'll walk you through my own proposal slides so you can see exactly what went into my presentation with my supervisors and industry experts

  • You'll be able to introduce yourself and see everyone else's introduction, where they are from, and why they are taking this course

  • Learn the importance of taking notes when you are doing background reading and how this links with questions you have created to guide you

  • Learn the importance of defining a problem statement, research questions, key concepts, definitions, and explanations of what you are studying

  • Answer the question of why are you doing this research; the motivation for it, and the significance of the contribution that you will make

  • Answer the question of how you are going to do your study; the academic methods, practicalities, instruments, type of research, ethics, etc

I look forward to seeing you in the lessons and reviewing your assignments so that you really can make actual progress on your own proposal, while also putting into practice what you have learned in this course.
