Thanks - that is really helpful. It is education within a legal context.

In preparing I have spotted a couple of weaknesses within the proposal. I thought I would highlight them in the presentation to demonstrate my critical reflection - what do you think?

I have a PhD interview for a studentship. The interview will commence with a 10 minute presentation on my proposal. This is too short to go over the whole proposal so how should I focus the research? I was thinking of stepping away from the proposal and picking out the salient points but this will skate over the literature search. What do you think?
