Trinity’s midwifery teaching team has a strong track record in advancing midwifery nationally and internationally. This is achieved through research and in supporting education in academic and clinical practice. The teaching team also represents midwifery on regulatory (NMBI) and Irish health service (HSE) bodies. We are delighted to be able to encourage and support Ireland’s future midwifery leaders. Students who successfully complete Year One may choose to exit with a Postgraduate Diploma in Midwifery, or proceed to second year where they complete the Masters in Midwifery. The M.Sc. Midwifery programme does not lead to registration as a Midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI); the programme is aimed at postgraduate registered midwives. Is This Course For Me? This course is designed for experienced midwives who are looking for professional development and promotion within midwifery practice, health service management, and education.
