Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery

The Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery was founded in 1974 and is the longest serving provider of post graduate nursing education in Ireland.

We offer a wide range of education programmes such as BSc, Post Graduate Diploma, MSc, and PhD. We have also established education partnerships with a number of large hospitals and health service agencies for the development and delivery of modules of clinical education.

The Faculty has been at the forefront of post graduate education in Ireland for over 30 years, and many of our past students hold strategic positions in the health services. For further infomation about the Facultys activities please see our Annual Reports for 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006,

We have developed a particular expertise in the delivery of post graduate education and this makes all of our education programmes very popular with nurses and midwives. We also collaborate with other departments of the college for multidisciplinary education and research purposes, including the Faculty of Medicine, Health Services, School of Nursing, School of Physiotherapy, and Department of General Practice.

We have an active research agenda and enjoy much success with competitive grant and funding opportunities through HRB and other health services research funding.

Finally, our excellent and expert team of academic and administrative staff are always available to assist you during your studies at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
