Research Proposal Length (Social Science)

Avatar for XJR


Hi. When applying for a social science PhD how many words does the research proposal have to be? The university application forms I have looked at ask for 500 - 1000 word proposals and this seems very short to me. Is this the only proposal that you submit with all decisions (such as admission to the university, whether you get funding or not) based on this, or do you have to submit a more detailed proposal at a later date?
