The School of Law and Government is a research active school with world-class faculty willing to supervise PhD students on topics in their areas of research. DCU regularly ranks among the top "100 under 50" universities as per Times Higher Education and hosts various research centres. The School is committed to embedding a culture of equality, diversity and inclusion, and to that end welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.We invite applicants for PhD research in any area of law, European law, political science, international relations, and public policy. Applications are particularly welcome from applicants whose research interests are in areas in which scholars in the School of Law and Government conduct their research.
The School operates a full-time structured four-year PhD programme with a range of taught courses in the first year and further professional training offered in other years. The programme combines the rigour and professionalism of the largely taught US approach with the independence and imagination of the traditional European supervisory programme, and it is designed to prepare its students to conduct cutting-edge research and pursue successful academic careers. As well as a tax-free stipend, we may support our students with limited funding for conference and research travel. The School also gives its PhD students opportunities to contribute to teaching.
