Applications for advertised projects
If you are applying for a specific project that has been advertised, there is no need to write a research proposal. Simply give the details provided in the advertisement in section 9 of the application form.
Applications for self-motivated projects
If you wish to conduct research on a project that has not been advertised, it is important that you first identify a potential supervisor within Brighton and Sussex Medical School. Details of potential supervisors and their academic interests can be found on their individual researcher profiles. Once you have identified a supervisor it may be worth contacting them directly to discuss your proposed project before sending in an application. Please note that funding is not automatically available for self-motivated projects.
If you have an academic-related query please contact Dr Sarah Newbury, Postgraduate Tutor, on +44 (0)1273 877874 or s.newbury@bsms.ac.uk
