PhD
Anyone done one or in the process?
Ive stumbled on something and I have 2 days (inbetween work and family commitments) to write a PhD research proposal and submit it. Any help would be appreciated as its quite a tight deadline. Advice on a literature review would be especially helpful.

What are you planning on getting it in? The literature review for the humanities would be quite different from a hard science. Is it going to be a lab based thesis, or a literature analysis/research project?
Most of the world has a different system for PhD than the US, but I am familiar with the process - I am planning one for myself fairly soon. In the US, you take courses for 1-2 years, after which you take a cumulative examination. During those 1-2 years, you develop your proposal and after examinations, you go and start your research. In Europe, I know you don't have the course requirement and you start your thesis from the beginning.

Quite simply there are no taught courses. 3 years of research and then the thesis followed by an oral exam. If the topic is approved and if I decide to do it then it is straight into the research. |

'Advice on a lit review' is pretty general. What do you need help with? Ever done one?

Got my PhD in 1974, on the life and times of Kevin Pietersen, so I too am happy to help.
