Other requirements

General requirements

Top grades in your Masters degree (minimum requirement is Merit or equivalent, but we prefer Distinction)

Top grade in your Masters Dissertation (or equivalent research-based piece of work) because this may show your research attitude and skills

A well-developed research proposal of at least 6-7 pages where you identify the motivation of your study, place it within relevant literature highlighting the current gap and potential research questions, state your intended methodology and show understanding of the data (if any) necessary to accomplish your study and relevant sources (which will also reveal the feasibility of your study)

A reasonable intended timeline, reflecting issues you may encounter in the study as presented above (for example, if you have to collect primary data, the time spent on data collection will be much longer than the one you would spend if you intend to use secondary data sources)

Make sure you meet all requirements
