Description
Learn how to develop a successful PhD proposal
Successful PhD research requires preparation, planning, critical thinking, and dedication. On this course, you will explore the key elements in a research proposal and solve common planning and writing challenges.
You will learn how to structure, define, and present your research idea in writing. You will develop your own research objectives and sub-questions and outline the context of the study. You will also learn how to manage a project. This course focuses on health sciences, but the content of the PhD proposal and the planning process of a research study is relevant to other disciplines.
Who will you learn with?
Professor, lead educator in “How to write your PhD proposal”. I have experience from seminars in scientific writing for development of project proposals for PhD projects and other small projects.
