StEPS2PhD Research Proposal

The first step to applying for a Ph.D. is to write a solid Research Proposal. Each supervisor looks for a passionate Ph.D. candidate who has a clear mind of continuing with the research degree and that is showcased by a Research Proposal. We, at StEPS, make sure that the proposal being sent to the respective supervisor has all the necessary elements that can increase the chances of getting consent from the supervisor. The finalization of the RP includes multiple feedback on the RP, editing, and proofreading before final submission.
