The UCD School of Chemistry has vibrant research in all topical areas of chemistry and cognate subjects, demonstrated by the strong commitment to high-impact publications, by frequent invitations to deliver seminars and keynote lectures and expert opinions on promotions, and by the high success in attracting highly competitive funding.

The School offers several programs of activities designed to enhance personal and professional skills. PhD students are expected to attend lectures by visiting speakers and undertake a program of lectures in advanced topics. The largest of these programs, called Dublin Chemistry is offered jointly with the Department of Chemistry in Trinity College Dublin. All of our PhD students are also expected to spend some time assisting in undergraduate laboratories or teaching undergraduates in tutorials. As well as providing some extra income, these duties provide stimulating teaching experience and contact with our BSc students. Many of our students also spend a short period doing research in a university or industrial laboratory abroad.
