1/5 When writing a research proposal, the first thing to do is to stick to a topic that sustains your interests. There is no point starting a graduate programme and not completing it because you lost interest in it.

2/5 Also very often some candidates try to come up with topics that they hope has the potential to ‘change the world’. This is often the case with doctoral studies. Starting out this way could be counterproductive and quite misleading.

3/5 While there is nothing wrong with being ambitious, it is more prudent to consider the 3 most important things when deciding a research topic that is both ‘feasible’ and ‘viable’.

4/5 These essentially include the following:

i. The availability of data for the study.
ii. Availability of supervision.
ii. Time-frame for the study.

5/5 In other words, you don't want to start your research and get stuck mid way because there is no data for the research. You also don't want to struggle with your research because your supervisor is not so interested in it.
