As Ireland's youngest university, DCU provides an exciting, interdisciplinary, friendly and supportive environment for postgraduate work. With almost 10,000 students of which 2,600 are at postgraduate level, DCU's determination to be a radical leader of change has established the university as a significant catalyst in Ireland's social and economic development. DCU is internationally recognized for its research in the fields of science, health, engineering, computing, business, humanities and social sciences.
Postgraduate Research at DCU cuts across the traditional boundaries between academic disciplines and involves collaboration with national and international partners and interaction with a broad range of funding agencies, institutions, non-governmental agencies and private companies.
Its major research centres and institutes have been awarded very significant funding by the state and by private investors to enable them to provide leadership at a global level. All of DCU's academic schools undertake research which is at the cutting edge of knowledge.
The university has always been very international in its activities, through its many pioneering undergraduate programmes involving international exchanges and our growing international postgraduate student population. In addition to the many first-class laboratories for research the university has on-campus accommodation residences and state-of-the-art sports and recreation facilities which provide ideal opportunities for postgraduate students to fully participate in the life of the university.
