I have 5 bazillion things to finish writing this week, so I don't have the time to tweet/blog about this, BUT I want to highlight that there are differences regarding how each program is built (particularly PhDs) across the world/within the same country/discipline. I say this...
... because I was asked to write a blog post on how to prepare a doctoral dissertation proposal at 2 stages
1) Before admission to the PhD program and
2) As the PhD program progresses.
Dissertation proposals may have some common elements which I can write about, BUT...

Dissertation proposals may have some common elements which I can write about, BUT...

For example, in the UK (from what I recall when I did my Masters in Manchester) does not seem to have comprehensive examinations, nor proposal defense.

I cranked this PhD timeline this morning while decaffeinated and under pressure to write other stuff, so I may have missed stages/steps. Anyways note that not all programs do comprehensives or qualifying exams, others do not do proposal defense. In others CE=PD. YMMV
