Master in Science in School of Psychology

Trinity College Dublin the University of Dublin

The School will consider applications for postgraduate research across the wide area of its expertise. However, intending applicants must have supervision arrangements in place, agreed by an academic member of staff in the School of Psychology before submitting an application. Postgraduate research students are expected to attend the School’s research seminars, which take place on a regular basis during the teaching terms. Each postgraduate student must present a research proposal at an appropriate early point in the development of their ideas. Research students are encouraged to participate in formal and informal academic development exercises.A process of academic assessment for all Ph.D. students to confirm their continuation of the Ph.D. register is normally arranged within the first eighteen months of registration. This timeline is extended by a further eighteen months of registration. This timeline is extended by a further year for Ph.D. students on the part-time register from year 1. The School runs an annual appraisal system for all postgraduate research students aimed at facilitating and monitoring their progress throughout the course of their research. Two independent members of staff are assigned as the student’s thesis committee at the beginning of their studies. As part of this system each student is required to present a progress report to their thesis committee every year.
