PhD/MPhil

The UCD Research Degree in Business aims to enable UCD MPhil and PhD students to achieve the best possible experience of graduate research and training. Making a substantial and original contribution to knowledge, normally leading to peer-reviewed publications, remains the core objective of MPhil and Doctoral studies.

Our PhD programme is a key part of our research culture and has a global reputation for excellence and facilities that are second-to-none. We have a large number of PhD students and post-doctorate researchers from many countries, doing research of the highest international quality.

This two-year MPhil is a research-based Masters and comprises the preparation of an advanced thesis under academic supervision, covering such research topics as Accounting, Banking and Finance, IR & HR, Management, Marketing, and MIS.
