The Guidelines for Preparing Research Proposals are available in HTML, PDF and RTF formats.

The Guidelines for Preparing Research Proposals state:

Having prepared the proposal:

  • Enrolled candidates should complete a Research Proposal Coversheet and submit two copies of their proposal and coversheet through the supervisor and Head of School/Graduate Research Coordinator to the Graduate Research School.
  • Prospective candidates applying on the basis of an incomplete PhD from another institution should complete the Application Form and submit two copies of the Details of Proposed Research and application form (plus other supporting documentation as required) through the proposed supervisor and Head of School/Graduate Research Coordinator to the Graduate Research School.
  • Applicants applying to transfer (upgrade) from a Masters programme at UWA to the PhD should complete the Application to Upgrade Form and submit two copies of the Details of Proposed Research and Upgrade form through the proposed supervisor and Head of School/Graduate Research Coordinator to the Graduate Research School.

Candidates, supervisors and Heads of School must ensure that the coversheet is completed and signed, as it certifies that the assurances made therein have been made to the Board. No research proposal or application for candidature can be considered without these assurances.
