Postgraduate Research Programmes

There are four faculties at DCU, each focusing on key areas of research. While some research is exclusive to a particular faculty, other research calls for the expertise of other faculties, institutions and/or organisations, creating and interdisciplinary, national and international approach. DCU’s research facilities are amongst the best in Ireland, and house national research centres in areas such as cellular biotechnology, sensors, plasma technology, networks and communication engineering, language technology, intercultural and information studies.

If you are considering embarking on a PhD you will need to identify a topic that is of genuine interest to you and identify an academic supervisor whose research interests match yours. To find a possible supervisor, consult the Graduate School’s webpage on potential supervisors in the first instance and then make contact with that person.
