How To Write A PhD Research Proposal

[Elahe]

A PhD is awarded mainly as the result of your making a genuine contribution to the state of knowledge in a field of your choice. Even though this is not the Nobel Prize yet, getting the degree means you have added something to what has previously been known on the subject you have researched. But first you have to prove that you are capable of making such a contribution, and therefore write a research proposal that meets certain standards. The goal of a research proposal is to present and justify a research idea you have and to present the practical ways in which you think this research should be conducted.
