WRITING
Short descriptive title of the project (a title in which the reader can straight away identify the direction of the research proposal)
A structured chronological aims section (almost to act as an abstract so the reader knows straight away what specific questions you are going to be answering)
Introduction (giving an overview of the general scope of research within the area of study, with sections on what has been achieved so far and where there are gaps in knowledge)
Methodology (I would break this down into short sections with mini aims and objectives with complementing methods or experiments used to achieve the aims)
Summary (pretty much identifying the greater implication of your research and also a chance for you to convey the importance)
Timeline (a section for you to outline how long several aspects of the research will take)

Your videos are a blessing. I am learning so much with you. I am a moroccan architect hoping to be applying for a phd in cambridge. It is very daunting but I am gonna give myself this chance and see where it would lead me. I have a question I really want to know what s the right way to contact a supervisor for the first time to attract their attention?

[@martinika823]

thx:) would it be better through a simple email, or should i attach a word file?

[@NatashaCavell]

Hi Samuel, Can I ask whether you included references in your proposal? And if they were included in the word count?

[@SamuelDada]

Hi Natasha it depends, if it’s on a portal with a word limit it probably will be included however typically if you have to submit a document it’s not included in the word count!! All the best 😊

Hi Samuel! Enjoyed your video a lot :) I wanted to ask you two questions. Is there any reason why you didn’t apply for a PhD while doing master’s? And do you think it’s better to apply for PhD after getting a master’s degree? (Since many master’s programs in the UK start and finish in September, which is when PhD also starts, I wanted to know if it’s possible/better to start PhD right after getting a master’s degree)

Me after swearing I'm done with academia: interesting 🧐
