Program Strengths
The strong research profile of staff working on Phenomenology, Critical Theory, Pragmatism and Neo-Pragmatism, and Ancient Philosophy ensures that the School is well placed for supervising students interested in going beyond the usual divisions between analytic and continental philosophy. The School organisesinternational conferences, workshops, and graduate masterclasses per year. It also hosts some of the biggest names in contemporary philosophy on regular basis. We also offer competitive funding to graduate students for conferences. There are module sharing arrangements with the Department of Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin. UCD and TCD PhD students organise a number of events, including an annual international conference. The School is also home to the International Journal of Philosophical Studies and the international postgraduate philosophy journal Perspectives.
