Abstract
This chapter explains what is required for postgraduate student researchers to design and submit the research proposal. In some universities, the student is required to present an interim report. It sets out the key components of the structure of the research proposal, including the research problem statement, research purpose statement, research questions or hypotheses, background to the research problem, literature review and methodology, list of references and in-text referencing. It gives specific attention to a guiding framework for thinking about originality in the research design.
