Overview

This has proven to be highly successful and enables our PhD students to achieve the best possible experience of graduate research and training.

Features

Making a substantial and original contribution to knowledge, normally leading to peer-reviewed publications, remains the core objective of doctoral studies in the School.

We offer structured Architecture PhDs in each of the major disciplinary areas of the School at University College Dublin.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The structured PhD includes several measures designed to support you in achieving your academic and professional objectives. One of these measures is the requirement of each PhD student to have a Doctoral Studies Panel.

The purpose of the Doctoral Studies Panel is to support and enhance the supervisor-student relationship, to monitor your progress during the course of your doctoral studies and to provide advice and support both to you and your supervisor(s).

The panel consists not only of your supervisor(s) but also additional advisor(s).
