The School offers both Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees by research. Typically, a M.Sc. takes between one and two years with a Ph.D. degree taking between three and four years to complete. In addition to conducting research, students attend a number of specialist modules, weekly research seminars and also participate in safety and other technical courses.
Research students obtain funding from a number of sources. These include national programmes (e.g. SFI and the IRC), College scholarships and direct funding from individual supervisors. Please visit the web pages of research groups in the School to see what areas may be of interest to you. Following contact with your potential supervisor, if you are offered a place, you will be given a link to the admissions website through which you will need to make a formal application.
In 2007 the School of Chemistry in association with the School of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, University College Dublin, launched a joint programme of graduate taught modules. This is one aspect of the close interaction of the two leading Irish Chemistry research schools within the Dublin Chemistry (DubChem) initiative. Students are expected to take several modules during their Ph.D. programme to fufil the credit requirement for their degrees. More details can be found on the School website.
In a future of increasingly interdisciplinary research the School of Chemistry enjoys strong collaborations with colleagues in the physical, technological and biological sciences throughout the College, and at national and international levels. Through these initiatives the School of Chemistry continues to grow as a natural strategic centre and at the interface between Chemistry and the Life Sciences and between Chemistry and the Materials/Nanosciences.
This program based on Chemistry (Doctoral) degree.
