Doctoral Framework

MIC’s inaugural Doctoral Framework was launched in May 2021 by Minister Niall Collins, Minister of State Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.

The purpose of the Framework, which has been developed in relation to national and Europe-level policy benchmarking, is to:

• Facilitate consistent excellence in the quality of postgraduate education, research and training;
• Enable and encourage faculties, departments and institutional units to work more closely in the delivery of an improved learner-experience and outcome;
• Maximise the employability of doctoral graduates across a broad range of employment sectors;
• Underpin the value and relevance of the doctoral award in the context of MIC’s institutional strategic priorities, national research policy agendas and global realities in higher education.
