EXPRESSION OF RESEARCH INTERESTS

Your application must include an Expression of Research Interests (not a research proposal). It is important that you read the Guide to Application,
which explains why this is needed, and that you answer the questions below. If your application for admission is successful, you will develop a full research
proposal during your first year as a doctoral student (provisional registration). Please keep to 1500 words.
1. Why are you applying to study at Victoria?
2. What specific issue or question are you interested in studying? Why do you think this topic needs further research?
3. How might you go about researching this issue? What particular obstacles or challenges, if any, do you anticipate in conducting this research?
4. What in your academic, professional or personal background prepares you to undertake doctoral research?
