UL PhD candidate experiences of doctoral education - Event at Research Week '25

As part of Research Week 25 , the Doctoral College is hosting an event to highlight UL PhD candidate experiences of doctoral education. 

The Irish National Framework for Doctoral Education was updated in 2023 to underpin excellence in doctoral education in Ireland by providing a set of nine principles for doctoral education. These principles reflect factors identified in numerous studies as supportive of doctoral candidate well-being or success. This event will incorporate three parts: 

Part 1: A presentation on data from a UL study that explored doctoral education experiences of UL candidates and interrogated the extent to which their experiences reflect the principles of the Irish National Framework for Doctoral Education. 

Part 2: A panel of PhD candidates and PhD supervisors who will respond to the presentation of data 

Part 3: An open discussion on how to heighten the doctoral experience at UL
