PhD Students
Our PhD programme
The School of Law and its research centres – the Irish Centre for Human Rights and the Centre for Disability Law and Policy – currently has over 60 students in PhD programmes.
The School of Law fully participates in the University’s structured PhD programme. The structured PhD programme enables students to enhance their research by undertaking, and getting credit for, a programme of education, training, research, personal and professional development activities. There are a large number of University-wide modules that PhD students can take as part of the structured programme and this year the School of Law has added three law-specific modules to the suite: ‘Law Research Skills 1- Preparation, Presentation & Discussion’; ‘Law Research Skills 2- Engaging in Scholarship and Debate’; and ‘Legal Opinion or Advice’, in which students can obtain credit for providing legal opinion or advice to an international organisation, NGO or court.
Anyone interested in pursuing PhD research in the School of Law should contact a staff member with appropriate expertise in the proposed area of research, or the Director of the PhD programme, Dr Ioanna Tourkochoriti.
