Sources of Funding for Research Degrees

Here is a list of some of the common sources of funding for our research postgraduate student. This list is not meant to be exhaustive. Depending on the particular degree programme and supervisor, there may well be many other possible sources of funding. For example, many of the staff in the school have research grants (e.g.Science Foundation Ireland grants) through which they can fund students.
