5 PhD programmes in Social Policy in Ireland

The Social Science programme from University College Cork was established in 2005 and is a four-year advanced programme which provides the opportunity for experienced professionals based in public sector agencies, voluntary/community organisations, educational institutions and international non-governmental organisations.

Interested individuals of this Applied Social Studies programme from Maynooth University are encouraged to make an informal approach to the Department to discuss their proposal and establish an initial fit between their interests and the Department's research priorities and expertise.

At the University College Dublin, we offer our graduate students a phd programme degree in Social Justice. 

The Social Work and Social Policy program at Trinity College Dublin  is both challenging and rewarding. It is a chance to make new discoveries about the world - and about yourself. The outcome of postgraduate research is not just the product (the thesis that is produced); it is also about the process of research training that you undergo.  

The Social Policy programme at University College Dublin has commencement dates in January, May and September annually.
