Entry Requirements and Application Procedures

To be eligible to enter on a course of study and research for the degree of Ph.D., a candidate must have obtained a high honours standard at the masters degree level, or presented such other evidence as will satisfy the Head of Department and the Faculty of his/her suitability.The University requires a minimum IELTS (Internet English Language Testing System) score of 6.5 for its Law programmes, with not less than 5.5 in any of the four components (reading, writing, listening and speaking). This equates to a score of 580 in TOEFL (paper-based); 240 in TOEFL (computer-based); 92 in TOEFL (internet-based) and 750 in TOEIC.

Applicants should prepare a proposal describing in some detail the area of their research as well as a brief literature survey on the area pertinent to their dissertation. This material should then be sent directly to the applicant’s potential supervisor selected from within the Centre’s teaching faculty. Once the proposal has been provisionally approved by a potential supervisor, a formal application should be made to enter the doctoral programme through the Postgraduate Admissions Office. Please note that formal applications should not be sent directly to the Irish Centre for Human Rights.

There is no deadline for applications. More complete details of the application, registration and examination procedure are contained in the university regulation.
