UCC has a world-class research reputation with many internationally renowned research institutions and centres.

We offer students the opportunities to undertake supervised research in all departments of the university, at masters or doctoral level. Assessment is by thesis which is examined at the end of your study period.

The structure and assessment of research degrees can vary. Students may register either for full-time or part-time study.

Research degrees involve students following their own timetable of academic study, under the supervision of an academic supervisory team.
