PHD Programme

DCU BUSINESS SCHOOL IS CHARACTERISED BY A VIBRANT RESEARCH COMMUNITY AND WE PROVIDE UNRIVALLED RESEARCH SUPPORT TO POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH STUDENTS.

We currently offer the following research programmes:

1 A PhD Programme (both full-time and part-time)

2 Masters by Research Programme (full-time and part-time)

Undertaking a research degree facilitates in-depth study in a discipline in which the student already has a good academic grounding. DCUBS also encourages inter-disciplinary research, where the student has appropriate knowledge in cognate areas.

The research programme also provides for the development of skills in organising, undertaking, presenting, and managing research projects that will stand to the graduate in whatever career he or she pursues afterwards.

Having a research degree marks you out as someone with both specialist knowledges in your discipline and the ability and commitment to manage and complete a demanding and challenging piece of academic research. DCU Business School Research Programmes are supported throughout the research programme. Students are given supervision of an expert panel, students are encouraged to attend seminars, present at conferences and publish work in scholarly articles.

Currently, we have over 60 post-graduate students, registered in PhD and Doctorate programmes. Their research topics reflect the diverse nature of the School’s research activities and our research strengths.
