A structured programme of education that is research-based and includes activities that support the acquisition of a range of relevant specialist and transversal skills
Our PhD programme has been developed by the Technological University Dublin alliance comprising Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), the Institute of Technology, Blanchardstown (ITB) and the Institute of Technology Tallaght, Dublin (ITT, Dublin). The early stages of the programme are also applicable to Masters (MPhil) and Diploma (PgDip(Res)) programmes and our research programmes have smart specialisations in:
•Environment, Energy and Health
•Information, Communications and Media Technologies
•New Materials and Devices
•Society, Culture and Enterprise
There are four main elements to the research programme at TU Dublin:
•Element 1 - Original Research
•Element 2 - Research Plans
•Element 3 - Transversal Skills
•Element 4 - Discipline Skills
As a graduate research student you will complete your specialised research project in interdisciplinary research environments and simultaneously develop a range of discipline specific and transversal skills and competencies utilizable by industry and the professions, including:
•Information Retrieval
•Research Integrity
•Research Methods
•Project Management
•Work-Based Learning
