outline will be considered. Although this research outline may differ for each qualification or academic department,
the basic information required is as follows:

 Title
 Summary of topic
 Short literature review
 Expected contribution of the study
 Methodology to be followed
 Availability of the data
 List of references
 Reasons why you are interested in the topic

Plagiarism of any form is unacceptable. Please take note of Unisa's Policy for Copyright Infringement and
