  For writing your Research Proposal we created this Moodle course to support you.

  Your Research Proposal is your personal proposal of what exactly you want to research how and why at the UCN International School of Psychology. Here you describe the problem that you would like to solve, the goal that you would like to achieve by solving this problem, the basic ideas that guides your research (hypotheses), what you already know about scientific literature and research concerning your problem, the methods you plan to use for your research and your planned time line for your research.

  When you click on "What is a Research Proposal?" below you find there a 7 minutes motivational video about: "Do You Dare to Dream?". This motivational video is just to inspire you to dream about what exactly you would like to research scientifically.
