PhD Dissertation Proposal Writing

The PhD dissertation proposal is a piece of academic writing, which presents your further PhD dissertation research. In this part of your dissertation you should state the hypothesis which you are going to test while doing the dissertation research.

The PhD dissertation and thesis writing normally begins with the proposal writing. You should begin the proposal writing at once after receiving the committee’s permission in order to save your time.

The PhD dissertation proposal requirements

ü Since your dissertation is not written yet, the PhD dissertation research proposal has to be written in the future tense. You should describe your intentions and plans as for your research in the PhD dissertation proposal. Besides, you should point your dissertation research purpose. You should use present tense for the purpose writing, since the purpose is already stated.

ü It is necessary that you wrote your dissertation proposal and your PhD dissertation and thesis, using the same writing style. The writing style normally depends on the discipline. The requirements of different writing styles vary, but there are some common features. For example, whatever writing style you use, you will have to double space all the text of your dissertation and proposal. Besides, the headings of the dissertation rubrics (and the word “proposal”) have to be centered. It is necessary to print the proposal and the PhD dissertation and thesis, using standard font (for example, Times New Roman 12pt).

The dissertation research proposal has to contain the same parts as the PhD dissertation. To be more precise, it is necessary that your dissertation proposal included such parts as the introduction, the methodology, the list of used sources and the appendices. It is also desirable to add the literature review to your proposal.
