The UCD College of Human Sciences, with over 200 staff and almost 4,500 students, is one of the largest and most dynamic in UCD. It consists of ten Schools that bring together the traditional social sciences, other disciplines including psychology, geography and philosophy, and a range of interdisciplinary areas. Academics in the UCD College of Human Sciences have received research awards from the Irish Research Council (IRC), the Royal Irish Academy (RIA), North-South Bodies and public bodies in Ireland and Europe. Building upon this established track record of excellence, the Graduate School’s role is to offer added value to the wide range of fascinating, challenging and socially-relevant programmes offered within the College and to the large body of research and doctoral students enrolled in its Schools.
The aim is to enrich both the research culture of the University and the life experience of our graduate students. This will entail developing new initiatives and building on initiatives already in place, for example an advanced programme in graduate research and methods training in the social sciences has been running for ten years, and is organised jointly with the UCD College of Business and Law.
It is now possible to apply online for all of our graduate programmes within the College of Human Sciences for the forthcoming academic year (2013-14). Please go to www.ucd.ie/apply for more information on programmes or go to the relevant School graduate web page for more exact information.
