The Centre has a long and proud history of supervising graduate students and integrating a number of activities conducive to both their general education and their career prospects. These include, but are not limited to:

• the consistent and intensive philosophical and philological training they receive through participating in the Weekly Reading Seminar;
• the experience in presenting their own work and fielding questions on it from fellow graduate students, early career researchers, and established scholars in the Postgraduate and Postdoctoral Work-in-Progress Seminar;
• the daily interaction and assistance that is available to them from postdoctoral fellows, and established scholars who are resident in the Trinity Plato Centre;
• the ready availability of a 3,500 volume strong library of texts in Ancient Philosophy, many of which are out of print and difficult to find.

Graduate students work with individual academic members from one of the Centre’s constituent institutions (Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin and Maynooth University) and are affiliated with the institution of their supervisor.

Graduate students are also expected to take an active part in the many and regular activities of the Centre, especially the Weekly Reading Seminar and the Postgraduate and Postdoctoral Work–in–Progress Seminar.

The Centre also serves as an academic home for postdoctoral fellows, not least through the Irish Research Council (IRC) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.
