|Full Name: |

|  |

|Student Application Number: | |

|Project Reference: | |

|Area of research: |

| |

|Working title of research: |

| |

|Justification for study: (i.e. why do you consider this subject worthy of study at PhD level. This should be considered in some detail providing |

|sufficient background for the non-specialist to be able to gain an idea of the background to the study, its general purpose and its importance) |

| |

|Outcome of the study: (i.e. how will the completed PhD contribute to the body of knowledge associated with this subject? Remember that we will expect a |

|PhD to generate novel data and/or novel interpretations or ideas within a subject area and it must be made clear in your proposal how this will be |

|attempted) |

| |

|Research Methodology: (i.e. How do you intend to generate novel data [if appropriate]? This should include an assessment of the physical, |

|technological, human and literary resources required to undertake quantitative or qualitative research. The research committee is unlikely to look |

|favourably on a proposal that fails clearly to demonstrate what the necessary resources are and that they are readily available [or will be]) |

| |

|Literature Review: (This should include a summary of the current debates, areas of contention or controversy, the principal commentators and the seminal|

|works within the subject area.) |
