Dublin City University (DCU) will contribute through its unique graduate training programme in Target-driven Therapeutics and Theranostics (T3). The T3 programme incorporates first class teaching with cutting-edge research. They provide a multidisciplinary academic and research programme for training students towards a PhD in the expanding field of therapeutics. The goal of the T3 programme is to graduate PhDs with the skills necessary to lead Ireland s biopharmaceutical and biomedical diagnostics industries. The T3 programme is centred on research streams composed of teams of PIs in the following areas: Neuroscience, Immunology, Epithelial/endothelial cells, Drug targeting and Optimization, Cell Communication and Theranostics.
The UCD structured PhD programmes allows students achieve the best possible experience of graduate research and training. Making a substantial and original contribution to knowledge, normally leading to peer-reviewed publications remains the core objective of doctoral studies. A research degree is based primarily on a research project, usually proposed and developed by the student, who undertakes their research under the supervision of a supervisor and a Doctoral Panel.
UCD School of Archaeology welcomes applications from potential PhD students. A UCD PhD is a four year research degree, undertaken within a clearly structured programme including training, taught modules, a Research and Professional Development Plan and opportunities to develop teaching skills. All students are assigned a primary supervisor and a variety of academic supports. Students are supported in their programme of independent research which will normally culminate in the production of research worthy of peer-reviewed publications. All UCD School of Archaeology staff are experienced in supervision of PhD students and have wide ranging expertise, with current field projects in many parts of Europe and Asia and School research interests spanning from aDNA through to experimental archaeology.
Unique in a national and international context in combining the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, spatial planning and environmental policy, the School contributes to the Irish society and economy while shaping international research agendas through a wide spectrum of research activities across and between these four disciplines.
The School is the largest of its kind in Ireland, and prides itself on the diversity and excellence of its research output and supervision. Potential students are warmly encouraged to approach individual lecturers with ideas and topics that may foster successful research projects.
Nanomaterials have a relatively larger surface area when compared to the same mass of material produced in a larger form. This can make materials more chemically reactive (in some cases materials that are inert in their larger form are reactive when produced in their nanoscale form) and thus potentially more hazardous to the environment.
Are you interested in interdis ciplinary research in mathematics, biology and computing Scholarships in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology funded by IRCSET are available in UCD from September 2010. New high-throughput technologies in biology have opened up exciting opportunities for numerate scientists to work in advanced areas of biological research. The programme takes students from a variety of backgrounds (statistics, engineering,mathematics, computer science, biology,chemistry, physics) and gives them relevant courses during their PhD, tailored to their needs. There are several projects available in different areas such as systems biology, statistics, signalling and infection. Each project is jointly run by two supervisors, one with a background in modelling or computational analysis and one with an experimental research programme.The student is integrated into the research teams of both research groups. The remaining studentships are based in Dublin.
Multidisciplinary collaboration, both within and beyond the School, is a key to the success and impact of its research programmes. Each year they publish a wide range of scientific articles, popular articles, books and policy documents. They have also enjoyed success in the innovation and commercialisation of several aspects of their research.
The School boasts a large cohort of graduate students enrolled in high quality structured M.Sc. (by research) and Ph.D. programmes that provide training in specific, state-of-the-art and generic research skills. Graduate students constitute a significant and valued presence within the School.
The research team in Biosystems and Food Engineering at University College Dublin are actively researching a wide diversity of topics including the following: Sustainable Energy, Sustainable Agriculture and Soil Resources, Environmental Technology, Environmental Modelling, Environmental Risk Assessment, Imaging and Computer Vision, Life Cycle Assessment, Risk Assessment and Traceability, Food Processing, Process Analytical Technology.

Aimed at graduates with an excellent academic background in business or an area relevant to their chosen field of research, the PhD programme is a key part of research culture and has a global reputation for excellence and facilities that are second-to-none. It is designed for those who intend to pursue a career in academia, business education, research, consultancy or related professions. They offer an excellent taught programme in the first and second years of the PhD so as to properly equip you with the skills to undertake your own research. Guided by a specifically designed Research and Professional Development Programme, you can plan and organise your coursework and research activities over the course of your studies.
Basic and applied research are important activities in the School of Chemical Engineering and Bioprocess Engineering. The major areas of interest include a wide range of chemical and bioprocess engineering themes.
The UCD School of Chemistry has vibrant research in all topical areas of chemistry and cognate subjects, demonstrated by the strong commitment to high-impact publications, by frequent invitations to deliver seminars and keynote lectures and expert opinions on promotions, and by the high success in attracting highly competitive funding.
The Structured PhD in Children and Youth Studies is an inter-disciplinary programme specialising in research, policy and practice in relation to children and young people. Set in the context of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the programme explores key aspects of the rights and well-being of children and young people. It does so recognising the complexity and inter-dependence of issues facing contemporary childhoods and youth.
The School of Civil Engineering is very active in research with nearly 60 PhD and research Masters students working in a great variety of areas. There are a number of research groups within the school which you can link directly to. Alternatively, there are many individual researchers working in a wide variety of areas. There are lots of information in these pages but, if you want to know more, go to the staff pages and look up the research interests of the individual staff, a list of Publications, available Facilities, and participation in major Projects or organisation of Conferences / Seminars by the School.
The PhD is a minimum three-year research programme, leading to the production of a thesis of around 100,000 words which will make original contribution knowledge. The PhD is predominantly a research degree, but students will also undertake formal training in research, take language courses (Latin or Greek) at an appropriate level, and attend seminars.
The Doctoral Programme in Clinical Psychology is a 3 year research degree and professional training programme in clinical psychology. The course is fully accredited by the Psychological Society of Ireland.
UCD offers a Thematic PhD programme in Cognitive Science. This is a structured PhD programme, incorporating taught modules in the first year, followed by production of a standard PhD thesis.
