A limited amount of teaching may be expected of students in receipt of either studentship.

Research studentships in the School are normally awarded to incoming candidates who have been accepted to study for a Ph.D. in the School. The Ph.D. in Trinity College Dublin is a research degree, based on original research carried out under the guidance of a research supervisor. Decisions on admission are based on a combination of an applicant's research proposal (submitted as part of the application process), previous academic record, and professional experience where relevant. Information on the College's entrance requirements, fees and awards, and other regulations can be found on the Graduate_Studies website.

Further information about the School's research activities, academic staff, and resources can be found on our Research pages.

Prospective applicants are invited to contact the School's Director of Teaching and Learning (Postgraduate), Dr. Jeffrey Kallen (jkallen@tcd.ie), in the first instance.
