Registering for Postgraduate Degrees
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) may be awarded on the basis of research carried out by the candidate, under the supervision of a professor or lecturer, the results of which are submitted to University College Dublin in a thesis. The Institute does not award postgraduate degrees. Postgraduate research students are affiliated to UCD Conway Institute by virtue of the Conway status of their supervisor. The details regarding application procedures and entry requirements for a PhD by research in University College Dublin can be found on http://www.ucd.ie/pgstudy/index.html
