Thank you guys, your advice is much appreciated! I shall try and finish that section off today and save a template for future use.
Again thanks alot!:-)

Hi! I'm a first time user of this forum!

I am currently applying for a PhD. I've completed all the sections in the application form apart from one section...it asks me to write my 'research interests' in as much detail as possible. But it also says that if i have a full research proposal, I shoudl write that there too.
This may be a silly question but whats the difference between research interest and research proposal? And how shoudl I go about writing it? (this is one of my weakest areas as I am not good at expressing myself in words!)
Maybe I should go for 'research interests' rather than a proposal?
Many thanks for your help!
