Postgraduate Study

CDS has been a fantastic intellectual home for the past three years. The student community has transformed the PhD from a lonely journey to a collective challenge. The members of staff have always been supportive of my ideas and advised me to explore alternative research paths. I would recommend it to anyone considering embarking on a PhD.

In terms of distinguishing features of our programme, two outstanding aspects come to mind: (1) the intellectual freedom afforded to PhD candidates at the Centre, and (2) the wealth of resources available across the wider University. For those with a clear aim in mind, the possibilities are endless—the only limit being one's energies and time.
