Research proposals

A proposal is judged on whether the project can actually be done. Most rejected proposals are not badly written; they promise more than the timeframe, the sample or the researcher’s access allows. We build proposals around what is genuinely feasible for you.

Suited to

  • Bachelor’s and Master’s dissertation proposals
  • PhD applications to European doctoral schools
  • Upgrade, confirmation and progression documents
  • Funding applications requiring a research plan

01In practice

How this actually works

The core work is narrowing. A question that can be answered in twelve weeks with the participants you can realistically reach looks less impressive on paper than a sweeping one, and it is the one that gets approved.

We write the standard components — background, problem statement, aims and objectives, preliminary literature, proposed methodology, timeline, ethical considerations — in the proportions your department expects, which vary widely between faculties and countries.

For doctoral applications and funded projects the proposal doubles as a persuasive document. It has to convince a reader that the gap is real and that you are the person to close it, without overclaiming.

02Scope

What is delivered

Written down so there is nothing to discover later.

You receive

  • A specific, answerable research question with stated scope boundaries
  • Aims and objectives that map one-to-one onto the proposed method
  • A preliminary literature section establishing the gap with real, retrievable sources
  • A methodology section including design, sampling, instruments and analysis plan
  • A realistic project timeline mapped to your submission dates
  • An ethical considerations section flagging what your institution’s committee will want addressed

Not included

  • We do not submit funding or admissions applications for you
  • We do not guarantee approval by a supervisory panel or funding body
  • We do not fabricate preliminary results or pilot data

03Process

From brief to delivery

  1. Scope conversation

    Your field, your access to data or participants, your timeframe and the length your department expects.

  2. Question and feasibility check

    We propose one or two workable framings and tell you plainly which parts of your original idea will not fit the constraints.

  3. Full draft

    Written to your department’s required proposal structure, with a complete reference list.

  4. Revision after panel feedback

    Panels almost always come back with something. Revisions in response to their comments are included in the agreed window.

04Questions

About research proposals

More general questions about how we work are answered on the FAQ page.

My supervisor rejected my last proposal. Can you work from their feedback?
That is often the most efficient starting point. Supervisor comments tell us exactly which constraint the proposal breached — usually scope, feasibility or an unclear contribution — and we rebuild around it rather than guessing.
How long is a proposal normally?
It varies far more than students expect: 1,500–3,000 words for a taught Master’s dissertation, 3,000–8,000 for a doctoral application, and some European doctoral schools ask for considerably more with a detailed work plan. Send us the guidance you were given and we work to that.
Can you help identify a research gap?
Yes. That means reading the recent literature in your area and finding what has not been examined, or what has been examined only in a different population or context. It is genuine reading work, so allow time for it rather than expecting a gap to appear overnight.
