This is session is only open to postgraduates who are not currently studying at Oxford University. If you are a current Oxford University master's student, please see our events and training sessions for Oxford University students.
Postgraduate students come from a diverse range of backgrounds and many have doctoral aspirations. However, to be successfully admitted onto a doctoral research degree all students, irrespective of their academic discipline, will be required to produce a detailed, compelling and robust research proposal. This is a fundamental pre-requisite before any piece of PhD/DPhil research can proceed and it forms the core action plan for carrying out any empirical or desk-based research.
The Graduate School here at Oxford Lifelong Learning, Department for Continuing Education, is offering practical support and experiential advice, free of charge, to postgraduates who are seeking to develop their own doctoral research proposal prior to formally applying to any academic institution.
You don't need to be considering applying to Oxford University to join.
The session will be hosted by the Co-Directors of the Graduate School.
