Admission to EEE postgraduate PhD level is based on completion of a Bachelors degree and/or Masters degree in engineering or science at an international standard. PhD positions are advertised by the department and typically carry full financial support for the student over the typical 3 years of intense study. You are encouraged to directly contact the possible research advisor for potential PhD student openings within a given lab. Applicants are also encouraged to submit Graduate Record Exam (GRE) general and subject (Maths, Physics) exam results. In addition, copies of BS/MS level thesis work and resulting publications are also encouraged in the submission material.

Application for this programme is on-line through UCC's application system. For full details of the application procedure go to the study@ucc webpage.
