Degrees jure dignitatis 8 Subject to such regulations as may from time to time be made by the Board, with the approval of the Senate, the Board may, at its discretion, at any time submit to the Senate a grace for conferring a doctorate in divinity or laws, jure dignitatis, upon any graduate of the University who has been appointed to such public position as may seem to the Board sufficiently distinguished; provided always that every such grace must receive the approval of not less than two-thirds of the members of the Board present when it is proposed. After admission to the said degree jure dignitatis the person admitted is eligible for membership of the Senate on fulfilling the prescribed conditions. Degrees jure officii 9 The Board may submit to the Senate a grace for conferring, jure officii, the degree of Master in Arts upon any fellow, professor, lecturer or other officer of the University or College or of any related institution, work in which is accepted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of bachelor in any faculty, provided that: (a) graces for admission of fellows, professors and holders of the offices of secretary, treasurer and librarian may be proposed at the stated meeting next after their admission to office; (b) graces for admission of other full-time members of the academic staff of at least the status of lecturer serving in the College, or a related institution, may be proposed at the stated meeting fourth after their appointment to the staff of the College; (c) graces for admission of other members of the University and College staff who have given notable service during a period of not less than ten years may be proposed at the stated meeting eleventh after their admission to office.

They should be made to the Senior Proctor, to whom the necessary certificates of graduation must be submitted, with a College testimonial as to character, and a statement of the reasons why the degree is sought. 12 The fees payable are €1,101 for all bachelors’ and masters’ degrees. All fees are paid to the Treasurer. 13 Candidates who have paid the fee for a degree ad eundem may present themselves for the examination for a higher degree before the ad eundem degree has been conferred, on payment of the regular examination fee; and, if they are successful, the higher and lower degrees may be conferred at the same Commencements. 14 For the purpose of ascertaining the date at which a higher degree may be taken, candidates are reckoned as having taken the lower degree ad eundem on the date at which they obtained the corresponding degree at their own university.
