I've been nominated by the Head of Department (Law) for the NB Scholarship. This was after I failed to secure a Studentship with Newcastle University. I wasn't even shortlisted, yet they've put me forward for this scholarship [insert confused face here]. I've been allocated a supervisor and already have a proposal to work with (although it'll need some major amendments).

I am SCARED, and a little out of my depth! My MA was a Taught Masters at KCL, not a research degree.

Does anyone who has knowledge of the NB scholarship have any advice? My research proposal will be around 700 words.
