ASK Research Planning Tool

Use this research planning tool in the early stages of your research to help define your research topic and start your research. 

This should take around 20 minutes for you to complete.

Once you complete the questions fully, you can export and download the form as a Word document for you to keep. Or you can export the planning tool form as a Word file and respond within Word. Note that there isn't a save button.

You might come back to this planning tool after doing some exploratory research on your topic - so make sure to bookmark this page.

IMPORTANT: Remember to discuss your ideas with your research project/dissertation tutor to check the feasibility and appropriateness of your research.
