Geography University College Dublin

Overview

The Geography program offered by University College Dublin includes several measures designed to support you in achieving your academic and professional objectives. One of these measures is the requirement of each student to have a Research Masters Panel. The purpose of the Research Masters 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). A further measure of support is the possibility to complete taught modulesat the early stages of your study.

Key Facts

The research programme at the UCD School of Geography provides students with just the right structure to guide us through the early period of topic development and literature exploration while also allowing flexibility and room for students to step into their own as academic researchers as they progress their research. The coursework requirement is well designed to enable students to take courses from any School within UCD so that we can tailor this to our skill and knowledge needs. With friendly academic colleagues and a core support group of other research students and postdoctoral fellows, students can enjoy stimulating conversations and build their networks across both human and physical aspects of geography.
