Getting Started on a PhD Proposal
Here is how to get started on your PhD proposal:
- Meet with your advisor or tutor.
- Get acquainted with your PhD thesis committee.
- Review available research and work with your tutor or advisor on formulating your main thesis topic. Typically, the topic is a carry through to what you might have researched for your master’s degree or an undergraduate degree. Of course, you can also choose to head in a new direction, but just make sure you are touching on a new area as a PhD is based on original research.
- Research PhD help literature, websites and texts.
