UCD Graduate Studies
Welcome to UCD I am delighted that you are considering graduate study at University College Dublin - one of Europe’s leading research-intensive universities and Ireland’s leader in graduate education with over 8,000 graduate students with almost a quarter being graduate research students. I came to UCD from Durham University in the UK and before that, from the University of Western Australia, Perth. I came to UCD because of the quality of this university’s academic teaching and research and because of the vibrancy of the UCD community. What also attracted me to UCD is its global perspective. UCD is Ireland’s global university. There are over 6,000 international students here, making this a very cosmopolitan campus. Our community of national and international students find a warm and welcoming campus environment.
As you consider your future, I hope that this programme listing will give you a flavour of the breadth of opportunity, academic guidance and career support that awaits you here. You can start with this programme listing, but you will learn so much more from the website. So, learn as much as you can about the UCD environment and come and join us on a journey of academic and personal discovery that will equip you for life.
Professor Andrew Deeks, President

UCD Graduate Studies
With over 160 years of tradition, UCD has been a major contributor to the making of modern Ireland; leading and shaping agendas since its foundation in 1854.
What they say about UCD:
UCD was created from an idea, its founder John Henry Newman’s The Idea of a University, written in 1852. This idea sought ‘true enlargement of mind’ and ‘a university mission to benefit the wider world’. To this day, UCD stays true to this ethos. UCD is a distinctively Irish university but with global impact. UCD is the most connected and networked university with Government, industry and society in Ireland. Many of UCD’s 218,000 alumni have made their mark in all areas of industry, arts, engineering, science, culture, sport and public life, in Ireland and abroad.

Developing Your Career at UCD
James Toomey Accenture Consulting ME Engineering with Business “During my masters, I was given the opportunity to take a 7-month internship with Accenture, immersing myself within a professional consultancy environment. This internship was an invaluable experience and ultimately led to a job offer with Accenture.”
A qualification from a university of UCD’s reputation places graduates in a strong position when it comes to job hunting. UCD remains a targeted university and each year over 150 employers recruit directly on campus, while thousands more advertise vacancies through the UCD Career Development Centre website. UCD helps graduate students develop the abilities, attributes and qualities that employers want, and will prepare them for their academic, personal and professional future.
Planning Your Career: Help from the UCD Career Development Centre It is important that you assess your future career as you progress through university, and take advantage of the services, expertise and development opportunities that UCD and the UCD Career Development Centre can offer. Our role is to help you find what you’re looking for and to prepare you for it, so consider these four steps which will give you the best start possible: 1. Engage In order to get the most from UCD, and to impress your future employer, it is important to develop a rounded profile. In addition to a successful academic profile, employers will expect you to have been engaged during your time at UCD. We recommend that you get actively involved in something you value, enjoy and see as worthwhile, for example: join some of the student societies and sports clubs or try volunteering. 2. Develop Your future employers will expect you to possess clear career goals and skills, such as innovation, teamwork, problem solving, networking and leadership. We plan and develop opportunities, and help students find internships every year, but this is not something you should leave until the last moment. Pay us a visit early on, preferably in the first one or two months of your graduate studies.
3. Stand Out Getting the attention of your ideal employer requires a CV that stands out. You can develop such a CV with the expert coaching of our Career and Skills Consultants. Presenting your academic profile, employability skills, experience of the workplace and involvement in clubs and societies is critical to success in securing a job interview. Every year, we help thousands of students develop excellent CVs and covering letters through oneto-one coaching sessions and through focused CV development workshops. Our success has been evident in how employers value UCD students, by transforming applications into real jobs. 4. Progress The diversity of the UCD experience and curriculum means that graduates find work locally, nationally and internationally in a broad range of roles across the private, public and not-for-profit sector. Whatever career inspires you and wherever your career path takes you, a UCD education opens a world of opportunity.
“After my very first engagement with the Career Development Centre, I immediately had a more focused understanding of the options open to me. I would highly recommend to any student to engage with the Centre early on in their time in UCD as ultimately it was through their advice, guidance and connections that I was successful in securing what has become my dream job.”
