PhD Proposal

G

I am finding it increasingly difficult to put a research proposal together. I am not working in my area of study or interest and feel quite lost and out of touch. I have tried to keep abreast but that doesnt seems to help.
Any suggestions out there !!!..Please

The best you should do is withdraw. It makes no sense spending three valuable years on something that is of no interest to you. Maybe, you can try playing soccer.

Thank you Anon for your reply. I thought this was a serious forum.

Hi Kady, Anon’s reply was perhaps a bit flippant but he/she does have a point. If you are just beginning this PhD it might be worth trying to find something else more in line with your interests. PhD research is very tough and sometimes it's hard to be motivated even when you love your subject. If you're really not interested in this topic you may find the next few years extremely difficult.

However, I know studentships are not always easy to come by and if you really want to make a go of this project then I suggest that you try to tailor it to your interests as far as possible. All the best and good luck.
