Government of Ireland Research Scholarships in Science, Engineering and Technology

Graduate research scholarships are available to up to 150 outstanding students in Science, Engineering and Technology, by the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET). A formal call for submissions from interested students is advertised in national newspapers early in the new year and the funding starts in the following academic year.

Funding will be available for three years to outstanding students who register to study towards a Ph.D., though this time period may be revised to cater for students whose research demands longer time periods. The level of funding will be kept under review and raised upwards on a regular basis.

Applications must be made via the on-line system and forms are available from www.ircset.ie.
