1 SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN, TRINITY COLLEGE PhD DEGREE PROGRAMME Eligible Level 9 Postgraduate Courses 2015/2016

2 1 Introduction The School of Engineering requires each PhD student to accumulate a minimum of 10 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits on Level 9 postgraduate modules to be taken in the early stage of their postgraduate studies. These credits are required in order to qualify for graduation along with submission of their examined PhD thesis. The credits can be gained through participation and completion (that is, satisfying the Examiners in examinations or continuous assessment, depending on the course) of a number of modules that are available free of charge to PhD students. There follows a list of modules which are deemed eligible for selection in obtaining these credits. When a student has selected their preferred module, they should discuss their selection with their Supervisor. When the choice is agreed, the module co-ordinator should be contacted to ensure that the module is running and that there is room for the student on the module. Then the student needs to register for the module by informing the School Office by of their choice so that their participation is registered with the Examinations Office. If a student withdraws from a module for any reason, they should inform both the course co-ordinator and the School Office. Thanks are due to Prof Tony Robinson and Michael Gibbon for compiling this list. Associate Prof Roger P. West Director of Postgraduate Teaching and Learning 11 th September 2015

6 FSPR-1P PMAN-1P HSCO-1P Project Management 45 Associate Prof Trevor Orr Health and Safety in Construction 45 Assistant Prof Niamh Harty Although these are 45 ECTS courses, PhD students electing to take these weekend courses must attend lectures for two semesters and pass the two examinations, (but not complete the 15 ECTS coursework component) to obtain the ECTS requirement. However, if the coursework and exams are satisfactorily completed, the candidate will be eligible to graduate with the relevant PGDip qualification. Permission from the Course Co-ordinator and the Dean of Graduate Studies has to be obtained to attend these PGDip courses. If the PGDip course fee is more than the research degree fee for that year, the higher fee must be paid if the course is taken in full. 2.4 School of Maths PG Cert Statistics course** ST7001 Base Module 10 Associate Prof. Eamonn Mullins ST7002: Introduction to Regression 10 Prof. John Haslett ST7003: Design and Analysis of Experiments 10 Associate Prof Michael Stuart ST7005 Time Series Analysis 10 Associate Prof Myra O'Regan **Although this is a 30 ECTS course, all students must take the Base Module. Students must then take two elective modules from ST7002, ST7003 and ST7005 to complete the course. Permission from the Course Co-ordinator and the Dean of Graduate Studies has to be obtained to attend these PGDip courses. 2.5 External Modules Innovation Academy N/A Creative Thinking & Innovation* 10 N/A N/A Opportunity Generation and 5 N/A Recognition* N/A Planning Your New Venture* 5 N/A N/A Protecting & Exploiting Your Intellectual Property* 5 N/A N/A Creative Capital* 5 N/A

7 N/A Leadership Development* 5 N/A *Students must take the Creative Thinking & innovation module as a pre-requisite to the other modules in the Innovation Academy and so will have fulfilled the Engineering School 10ECTS requirement in that module alone. However, there is no reason, with the Supervisor s and module co-ordinator s consent, why a student could not take one or more of the other modules for interest.
