Graduate Students make up more than one quarter of all students at UCD. UCD are committed to providing all their graduate students with the best possible educational and research experience.
The UCD Structured PhD aims to enable UCD PhD students to 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. The Structured PhD includes several innovative measures designed to support you in achieving your academic and professional objectives.
UCD Earth Institute is committed to creating interdisciplinary structured PhD Programmes that educate and train future generations of research scientists. The Earth Institute does not award graduate degrees but the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) may be awarded on the basis of research carried out by the candidate registered to University College Dublin, under the supervision of a professor or lecturer in one of UCD’s Schools. If your supervisor is a member of the Earth Institute, you are then affiliated to the Earth Institute.
