Research Proposal Writing Course

Develop a proposal in which the problem, literature, questions, framework, methodology, ethics and work plan form one traceable design.

Who this is for

A practical self-study system for researchers.

BS, MS, MPhil and PhD researchers preparing a proposal, concept paper, confirmation document or research committee submission.

The PDF course is written in English and designed for independent, self-paced study. It explains each decision, provides fictional illustrations, and includes workbook pages that you can print or complete separately against your own research.

The purchase does not include private document review, editing, data analysis, or live sessions. Those are available through the live group fee or a separately quoted one-to-one or institutional format.
