Academic Regulations Governing Postgraduate Degrees by Research and Thesis

11. Admission of Candidates living outside Ireland

1. In normal circumstances, research students registered at DCU must reside within Ireland unless they are required by their academic Supervisor to undertake a part of their research programme in another institution outside the country. Other registered DCU students, or new applicants wishing to reside and undertake research outside Ireland for a period of 6 months or more, must obtain special permission from Academic Council for this mode of research. Applicants seeking admission for this mode of research should note that such permission is granted on an exceptional basis only and is subject to ongoing review and approval of the proposed supervisory arrangements by Academic Council.
2. If a student's research is to be undertaken as part of employment with a company abroad, there must be an approved collaboration agreement between the employer and the University/College, together with the appointment of a suitable external supervisor in the company who will undertake the day to day academic supervision of the student. This external supervisor will report on a regular basis to the nominated DCU academic supervisor.
3. A special fee sufficient to cover the cost of all aspects of supervision and examination, including visits abroad, shall be set by the University/College.
