Content
Most doctorates begin with the writing of a project outline, sometimes called an exposé. This relatively short text advertises the intended research project to the reader. Some people write this text just for themselves to help them get started on their project. Others write it to be accepted as a doctoral researcher at a university, or to apply for a scholarship or position within a department.
In this workshop, we will look at the project outline as a specific genre of academic writing. You will explore and discuss the expectations that readers of your project outline might have. You will also have the chance to work on both the academic content and the work plan of your research project, the two typical components of a project outline.

Further Information
Doctoral programs calculate credit points based on the number of work units earned through workshop participation.
Each work unit represents 45 minutes of workshop time, and 8 work units equal 0.5 credit points.
For mini workshops (less than 8 work units), credits are calculated proportionally based on the work units.
Please note: To be eligible for credit transfer, you must accumulate enough work units from short workshops.
For example, attending two 3-hour workshops results in 8 work units (2 workshops x 4 work units each), which equals 0.5 credits.
