I am currently a BA degree holder from the University for Development Studies in Ghana, with a specialisation in Integrated Development Studies(Development Communication option). i am also a Certificate "A" holder, a certificate awarded to professional teachers in Ghana after undergoing a three-year intensive training. I also have a three-year working experience as a professional teacher in the Northern part of Ghana. I graduated in June, 2011 with a second class upper. i am interested in pursuing a master's degree programme next academic year, I have started entering my research proposal for scholarship and Fellowship opportunities. can someone please help me with some guide or resources that will help hone my research proposal writing skills, in order to better place myself in a better position to win at least one opportunity?

Hi Mwally

Are you talking about a research proposal or a 'statement of intent' (where you briefly outline your area of interest?).

I think you would mean a statement of intended research, in which case you shouldn't need to do a formal research proposal yet.
As I am not familiar with the requirements in Ghana, perhaps you could post exactly what you need to do so that people can advise you
from an informed position?

Good luck

Thank you so very much for your response.I am considering submitting something on the contribution of indigenous African Communication systems to Ethical Communication in the Ghanaian media landscape, any suggestions?
