Writing your research proposal
When applying to study for a PhD or MPhil in the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences, you will typically need to send us an initial 500-word research proposal.
The content and structure of your research proposal will be influenced by the nature of the project you wish to pursue. The guidance and suggested headings provided here should help you to structure and present your ideas clearly.
Your initial research proposal
When writing your initial research proposal, you can either address it to the School generally, or to a specific supervisor if you have one in mind.
Potential supervisors in the School will review your initial research proposal, and get in touch with you to discuss it. Your proposal may change following this conversation. Depending on the supervisor and the outcome of this discussion, you may be asked to produce a longer research proposal of between 2,000 and 4,000 words.
Tips on writing a research proposal
Before you write your research proposal, we strongly recommend that you check our research page and individual supervisor profiles to view our areas of expertise.
- You should avoid the use of overly long sentences and technical jargon.
- It is important that the proposed research is realistic and feasible so that the outcomes can be achieved within the scale of a typical research degree programme. This is usually three years full-time for a PhD (or two years for an MPhil).
- A strong research proposal can and should make a positive first impression about your potential to become a good researcher. It should demonstrate that your ideas are focused, interesting and realistic.
Although you should write your proposal yourself, it is best if you discuss its contents with your proposed supervisor before you submit it. If this is not possible, then try to get someone else (such as an academic at your current or previous institution) to read and comment on it to ensure that it is sufficiently clear.
Your proposal needs a clear working title that gives an indication of what you want to study. You are not committed to continuing with the same title once you begin your studies.
Research question
For many projects, you'll usually address one main question, which can sometimes be broken down into several sub-questions. However, it's OK to have two or three research questions where appropriate.
In your research proposal, you'll need to state your main research question(s), explain its significance, and locate it within the relevant literature, in order to set out the context into which your research will fit. You should only refer to research that is directly relevant to your proposal.
Questions to address in your research proposal
You will need to address questions such as:
- What is the general area in which you will be working, and the specific aspect(s) of that area that will be your focus of inquiry?
- What is the problem, shortcoming, or gap in this area that you would like to address?
- What is the main research question or aim that you want to address?
- What are the specific objectives for the proposed research that follow from this?
- Why is the proposed research significant, why does it matter (either theoretically or practically), and why does it excite you?
- How does your work relate to other relevant research in the department?
Methodology
You will need to explain how you will go about answering your question (or achieving your aim), and why you will use your intended approach to address the question/aim.
Questions you might need to address include:
- What steps will you take and what methods will you use to address your question? For instance, do you plan to use quantitative or qualitative methods?
- How will your proposed method provide a reliable answer to your question?
- What sources or data will you use?
- If your project involves an experimental approach, what specific hypothesis or hypotheses will you address?
- What specific techniques will you use to test the hypothesis? For example, laboratory procedures, interviews, questionnaires, modelling, simulation, text analysis, use of secondary data sources.
- What practical considerations are there? For example, what equipment, facilities, and other resources will be required?
- What relevant skills and experience do you have with the proposed methods?
- Will you need to collaborate with other researchers and organisations?
- Are there particular ethical issues that will need to be considered (for example, all projects using human participants require ethical approval)?
- Are there any potential problems or difficulties that you foresee (for example, delays in gaining access to special populations or materials) that might affect your rate of progress?
You will need to provide a rough timeline for the completion of your research to show that the project is achievable (given the facilities and resources required) in no more than three years of full-time study (or part-time equivalent) for a PhD, and two years for an MPhil.
Expected outcomes
You need to say something about what the expected outcomes of your project would be.
How, for example, does it make a contribution to knowledge? How does it advance theoretical understanding? How might it contribute to policy or practice?
If you are aiming to study for a PhD, then you need to say how your proposed research will make an original contribution to knowledge. This is not essential if you are aiming to study for an MPhil, although you will still need to show originality in the application of knowledge.
List of references
You will need to provide a list of any key articles or texts that you have referred to in your proposal.
References should be listed in the appropriate style for your subject area (e.g. Harvard). You should only reference texts that you think are central to your proposed work, rather than a bibliography listing everything written on the subject.
Format and proofreading
Make sure that your proposal is well structured and clearly written. It is important that you carefully check your proposal for typographical and spelling errors, consistency of style, and accuracy of references, before submitting it.
The proposal should be aesthetically well presented, and look professional (e.g. no font inconsistencies, headings clearly identifiable). If you include figures, then they should be accompanied by captions underneath).

I’m often asked how to structure a qualitative dissertation and I find that seeing other dissertations can help to 1) recognise the structural similarities and writing conventions, and 2) recognise that all dissertations are slightly different and it’s perfectly ok to do your own thing too. So I recently went on the hunt for some examples of qualitative psychology Masters theses to help MSc Media Psychology students in writing up their qualitative research.
I found a few qualitative psychology Masters theses online (see below) but PhD theses and undergraduate dissertations seem more available electronically (I’ve also included some examples of each below). Perhaps there is gap for an online hub of Masters projects? If you know of one, I’d love to hear about it.
- Conroy, M. (2010) A Qualitative Study of the Psychological Impact of Unemployment on Individuals , Dublin Institute of Technology . Submitted for the award of Masters in Child, Family and Community Studies
- Heinze, I. (2011) Making Sense of the Social Aspects of Business Failure, The University of Edinburgh *, Submitted for the award of Master of Science in Psychological Research Methods
- Lyon, T. (2011) Beyond the future: Fortune telling as constituted in the media, The University of Edinburgh *, Submitted for the award of MSc in the History and Theory of Psychology
*Found via the University of Edinburgh’s search option for Psychology Masters thesis collection here .
- Brown, P. (2005) Life in dispersal: narratives of asylum, identity and community , Doctoral thesis, University of Huddersfield (Phil just happens to be my PhD supervisor!)
- Chernicoff, E. (2002) Becoming Visible : A Qualitative Analysis of Female to Male Transsexuals’ Coming Out Experiences , PhD thesis, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine
- Clements, A. (2012) Commitment in students training for caring professions: a focus on student nurses’ experience of support , PhD thesis, University of Bedfordshire (a mixed methods example)
- Howarth, C. (2000) “So, you’re from Brixton?”: Towards a social psychology of community . PhD thesis, The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) .
LSE Theses Online and the Open University’s Open Research Online are both fab repositories. Registering for the British Library’s Electronic Thesis Service EThoS is also a must.
Undergraduate dissertations:

- Walker, S. (2012) “Follow, follow?”: A thematic analysis of how geographical location, social intensity & masculinity are predictors for ‘casting’ nationality with football , Download from the MMU Psychology Dissertations Journal here
Media Psychology:
Whilst searching, I also found a Masters dissertation on social media’s role in branding which applies cultivation theory…might be of interest to our MSc Media Psych students.
- North, N. (2011) Social Media’s role in branding: A study of social media use and the cultivation of brand effect, trust and loyalty , The University of Texas at Austin, Submitted for the award of Master of Arts
Quite a few of the dissertations uploaded to the MMU Psychology Dissertations Journal are also media related. You can search the Journal here .

It’s great to see how others have conquered the challenges of writing up but there does come a point where you need to stop looking at other people’s work and focus on writing your own work in your own way. Good luck!
P.S. Don’t forget to adhere to your University’s specific guidance on writing up dissertations and theses too!
