End of thread: This last may sound creepy but it tells us you know what you are doing. Research degrees can be very lonely and stressful and your supervisors are key to helping you get through: get to know them before rather than later! @KatarinaStenke @jmy1599 @GreenwichEng pic.twitter.com/8Xaw…

Finally, you need to explain what expertise & resources Greenwich can offer you (besides any  financial incentive): why would studying here with the supervisors set for this PhD be of advantage to you? To answer that you need to research both supervisors and Greenwich itself.

The criterion of a PhD is an original contribution to knowledge and you need to make clear what that contribution will be. To show originality you need to give a brief outline of the field and identify a question that you think has been inadequately addressed or not asked at all.

... so what area are you going to focus on and why? What resources are there to enable you to answer the question? We are in London and there are loads of resources - including the wonderful @stbridelibrary - but which ones will help you? You need to show you are prepared!

3) this is the most important of all as it enacts the previous two. Define A. your research question, B. the body of data you want to ask it of and C. how you are going to answer it. The funding is for a very wide area of literature c. 1610-1900. You can't cover it all...

2) tell us about your academic background and what skills you have developed that will help you. It may be that you have relevant skills outside your area of formal study that will be useful for your research. We are fine with that.

Besides a CV in English and all relevant certificates, we require a *relevant* and feasible #researchproposal in which you 1) Tell us about your areas of interest and your background and why these will contribute to your successful completion of the PhD.
