Frequently<br />
Asked Questions<br />
1. Wh<strong>at</strong>’s the difference between a Taught<br />
and a Research Masters?<br />
A master’s degree may be obtained in one of two modes<br />
namely by:<br />
(a) Research only and Major Thesis<br />
(b) Coursework, Examin<strong>at</strong>ion and<br />
Dissert<strong>at</strong>ion/Minor Thesis (Taught Masters)<br />
A candid<strong>at</strong>e who wishes to obtain a Master’s degree by<br />
Research must pursue a programme of supervised research<br />
for <strong>at</strong> least the equivalent of one year full-time from the<br />
d<strong>at</strong>e of first registr<strong>at</strong>ion for the programme. They must<br />
prepare and submit a masters thesis of original work<br />
(approx 40,000 words) in consult<strong>at</strong>ion with the supervisor(s)<br />
and the Departmental Gradu<strong>at</strong>e Studies Committee<br />
upon the work done during the programme which will be<br />
assessed by Intern and Extern Examiners. The candid<strong>at</strong>e<br />
may also be required to pass an examin<strong>at</strong>ion on the subject<br />
m<strong>at</strong>ter of the thesis.<br />
For further inform<strong>at</strong>ion on undertaking a Masters by<br />
Research visit: http://www.ucc.ie/en/mastersbyresearch/<br />
A candid<strong>at</strong>e who wishes to obtain a Taught Masters must:<br />
(i) pursue a prescribed postgradu<strong>at</strong>e programme for <strong>at</strong><br />
least the equivalent of one year full-time from the d<strong>at</strong>e<br />
of first registr<strong>at</strong>ion for the programme; (ii) must pass an<br />
examin<strong>at</strong>ion on the programme and reach a required<br />
standard; and (iii) must submit a dissert<strong>at</strong>ion/minor thesis<br />
or a research project. The candid<strong>at</strong>e may also be required<br />
to pass an examin<strong>at</strong>ion on the subject m<strong>at</strong>ter of the<br />
dissert<strong>at</strong>ion/minor thesis. The candid<strong>at</strong>e’s dissert<strong>at</strong>ion/minor<br />
thesis for the degree is also prepared under the direction<br />
of the Supervisor. The level of qualific<strong>at</strong>ion obtained<br />
undertaking a taught or Research Masters is the same<br />
(see N<strong>at</strong>ional Framework of Qualific<strong>at</strong>ions).<br />

full-time or two to six years part-time. A PhD normally<br />
takes <strong>at</strong> least three years full-time of six years part-time.<br />
3. Wh<strong>at</strong> are the fees for the various programmes on offer?<br />

4. Wh<strong>at</strong> funding is available?<br />
There are a number of funding options available to students<br />
who wish to study for a Research Masters or a PhD.<br />
To explore these sources of funding visit:<br />

5. I’m a non-EU student.<br />
Is there a fee waiver scheme in place?<br />
Yes. Further inform<strong>at</strong>ion visit:<br />

6. Do local authorities provide grants towards<br />
postgradu<strong>at</strong>e degrees?<br />
If you are over 23 on the 1st of January prior to your entry<br />
to the postgradu<strong>at</strong>e course of your choice, and you have<br />
been living away from your parents on the 1st of October<br />
in the previous tax year, then you may be entitled to a local<br />
authority grant, which will pay your fees up to a maximum<br />
value of €5,600 per annum. The criteria for the awarding<br />
of the grant are primarily based on residence and income.<br />
If your income from the previous tax year was below<br />
€36,400 then you would be entitled to the full grant. This<br />
requires a student to have been ordinarily resident in a local<br />
authorities area on the 1st of October previous, and to have<br />
been in the EU for three of the previous five years.<br />
Visit: http://www.ucc.ie/en/SIN/Postgradu<strong>at</strong>eFunding/<br />
LocalAuthorityGrants/ for more inform<strong>at</strong>ion on the criteria<br />
for the awarding of the grant.<br />
7. I’d like to do a research degree but I haven’t a research<br />
proposal. Can I still apply?<br />
All departments require a research proposal. However, in<br />
many cases students only develop a full research proposal<br />
as part of their research programme. The purpose of a<br />
research proposal is to allow the student to demonstr<strong>at</strong>e<br />
th<strong>at</strong> they have a good understanding of wh<strong>at</strong> is involved in<br />
undertaking a research project. Academic research projects<br />
often do not follow a linear p<strong>at</strong>h, so your initial research<br />
proposal may not always be a good indic<strong>at</strong>or of the form or<br />
content of your dissert<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
8. Can I be jointly supervised?<br />
Yes, if the supervisors and respective Department<br />
Heads agree.<br />
9. Can I transfer from a Research Masters to a PhD?<br />
Yes, if this is agreed by the Department and Faculty.<br />
10. Can I study abroad during my PhD/MSc?<br />
Yes, if approved by your supervisor and Head of<br />
Department. Further details on exchange programmes are<br />
available from the Intern<strong>at</strong>ional Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Office<br />
http://www.ucc.ie/en/Intern<strong>at</strong>ional/StudyAbroad<br />
for<strong>UCC</strong>Students/
11. How is a research degree assessed?<br />
Typically, a Research Masters is examined solely on<br />
a dissert<strong>at</strong>ion (c. 40,000 words) which documents an<br />
individual piece of scholarly research. A PhD is typically<br />
80,000 words.<br />
12. Will I be required to give tutorials as part of my<br />
research degree?<br />
Full-time postgradu<strong>at</strong>e students, in particular those<br />
engaged in research projects, provide a very valuable<br />
resource for teaching within higher educ<strong>at</strong>ional institutions.<br />
Students are not obliged to give tutorials (unless they are<br />
in receipt of a studentship see the website mentioned<br />
further for additional inform<strong>at</strong>ion) but it is viewed by<br />
many as a crucial part of the training and development of<br />
postgradu<strong>at</strong>e students engaged in research.<br />
It provides you with grounding in the research process and<br />
develops valuable skills which may be useful in furthering<br />
your career either within academia or in the public priv<strong>at</strong>e<br />
sector. Generally, there is a limit of 150-200 hours tutoring<br />
or demonstr<strong>at</strong>ing per year (in <strong>UCC</strong>), and students should<br />
not exceed these limits.<br />
It also provides you with a means to earn money and to<br />
cover your fees. You should talk to your supervisor or<br />
any prospective supervisor or department about this, as<br />
it constitutes one of the largest sources of funding for<br />
postgradu<strong>at</strong>e study in Ireland.<br />
Visit: http://www.ucc.ie/en/SIN/Postgradu<strong>at</strong>e/<br />
<strong>UCC</strong>Postgradu<strong>at</strong>eFunding/Studentships<br />
for more inform<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
13. Can I study for a Research Masters or<br />
Doctor<strong>at</strong>e part-time?<br />
Yes.<br />
14. Wh<strong>at</strong> are the progression routes between<br />
degree programmes?<br />
Broadly speaking, the N<strong>at</strong>ional Framework of Qualific<strong>at</strong>ions<br />
maps out n<strong>at</strong>ional progression routes in their 10-level<br />
framework. Thus, one should typically have a level 8<br />
qualific<strong>at</strong>ion before proceeding to level 9. However,<br />
there are many situ<strong>at</strong>ions where one may be accepted<br />
into a programme while not having a qualific<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>at</strong> the<br />
immedi<strong>at</strong>ely lower level. Please consult programme entry<br />
requirements in the <strong>College</strong> Calendar.<br />
http://www.ucc.ie/academic/postgradu<strong>at</strong>e/calendar/<br />
15. Wh<strong>at</strong> are the residency requirements for<br />
part-time study?<br />
<strong>UCC</strong> does not currently impose residency requirements for<br />
part-time study.<br />
16. Wh<strong>at</strong> courses will I be taking as part of my degree?<br />
The courses (modules) th<strong>at</strong> you will be required to take<br />
are set out in the <strong>College</strong> Calendar. Further detail on the<br />
content of individual modules is available in the Book of<br />
Modules (though please note th<strong>at</strong> not all postgradu<strong>at</strong>e<br />
programmes are ‘modularised’ yet).<br />
http://www.ucc.ie/academic/modules/<br />
17. Can I read for a postgradu<strong>at</strong>e degree in business if I<br />
haven’t an undergradu<strong>at</strong>e degree in business?<br />
In many cases you can. Please consult the programme entry<br />
requirements in the <strong>College</strong> Calendar.<br />
http://www.ucc.ie/academic/postgradu<strong>at</strong>e/calendar/<br />
18. Where can I get further inform<strong>at</strong>ion?<br />
In most cases you should contact the Department th<strong>at</strong><br />
administers the programme in the first instance.<br />
The Commerce Faculty will provide wh<strong>at</strong>ever direction<br />
it can to help you.<br />
19. Wh<strong>at</strong> is PAC?<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Cork</strong> has now moved to an on-line<br />
postgradu<strong>at</strong>e applic<strong>at</strong>ion system (PAC) for EU applic<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />
EU Applicants for all postgradu<strong>at</strong>e programmes must apply<br />
