HowTo Guide: Doctoral Research Proposals [pdf]. This has lots of useful information about Research Proposals for a doctorate.

Useful links:

• University of Hull: Research proposals

• York St John University: Examples of research proposals

• Manchester Academic Phrasebank

• LSBU Research degrees

For Doctoral Research:

• Jobs.ac.uk: Some clear and sensible advice for applicants

• University of Manchester: A nice summary of their general guidelines for applicants. (As always, these are guidelines for applicants to Manchester only, but they give you a good idea of requirements at this level.) 

• LSBU: Some universities use UCAS, a slightly different way of applying for a doctoral course.
