Research

Research is a cornerstone of academic activity throughout UCD, and has particularly strong links to Innovation in the College of Engineering & Architecture. First and foremost, curiosity and the desire to increase the body of knowledge in the world are what drive our studies. The research is directed by our faculty members, and much of it is performed by postgraduate students (at both Master's and PhD levels) and full-time post-doctoral research staff. In this way, we are training a new generation of researchers who will contribute to the economy and society by means of the advanced skills and knowledge they develop whilst at UCD.
