Doctor in Philosophy - Nursing and Midwifery in Dublin 2 Ireland | Trinity College Dublin, The University of Dublin

The School of Nursing and Midwifery was founded in 1996 during a period of significant transformation in Ireland's nursing education landscape. This was followed by swift growth, leading to the development of postgraduate programs serving diverse nursing, midwifery, and healthcare specialties. The School maintains a strong research focus and has cultivated numerous national and international partnerships.
Research Initiatives
The School demonstrates an increasing success in securing research funding across multiple healthcare fields. Collaborative research groups work alongside global specialists in Maternal, Child and Family Health, Healthy Aging and Intellectual Disabilities, Mental Health and Recovery, as well as Healthcare Innovation and Integration. These efforts have generated full-time research positions.
Our structured Ph.D. program mandates student participation in coursework, requiring 10 to 30 ECTS credits throughout their doctoral studies. A minimum of 25% of these credits must come from the compulsory Research Integrity in an Open Scholarship Era module. All candidates can enroll in the foundational Research Methods for Health Care module (10 ECTS), delivered via monthly Research Support and Education Seminars to aid academic progress and foster connections among students and faculty.
