At least, this is me going off the assumption that I'm doing a research degree for my doctorate, which is kind of what I want. I think. But I don't know what I want to research yet. I thought you didn't have to spit out a thesis for ( Read more... )

I have to do something similar for McGill, and I think it's a proposal for the research you plan to do as an M.A./Ph.D candidate. McGill wants a bibliography with theirs...which reminds me, I need to find out whether I need to turn in 500 words or 5 pages.

Good luck!

This stuff is bananas. What if you change your mind?

Um, have you contacted a potential supervisor? Also, what department is it you're looking at?

See, this is why I'm glad I still know some Oxford people. The website didn't say anything about a supervisor. What's a supervisor? Who should I contact to get one? I'm lookng at the History department, 'cos I want to do history. Is there a website I should ferret out?

Thank you, Freya. I'd build you a shrine in my closet if I had space. But I don't. I own too many clothes.
