Postgraduate research regulations

The School of Chemistry provides a list of regulations relevant to its current postgraduate research students. These have been radically revised as a result of the formation of Dublin Chemistry, our graduate programme with UCD, so that students entering in 2007 and subsequent years should consult these regulations 2007 (PDF), while students that entered before this period should consult the regulations (2006) (PDF). The 2010 updated regulations (MS Word) will apply to sudents entered after the 2007 period. Useful information is also available from the Graduate Studies Office. College guidelines concerning postgraduate supervision have also been circulated to all postgraduate students in Trinity College.
