  1. DRHEA Graduate Education Strand: Repositioning the Dublin Region as an International Centre for Doctoral Education Prof Gary Murphy, Director of Graduate Research, Dublin City University 10th November 2009, IUA Meeting, Trinity College Dublin

  2. The Dublin Region Higher Education Alliance(DRHEA) is a unique collaboration of higher education institutions across the greater Dublin region funded by the Strategic innovation Fund Cycle 2There are four strands to the DRHEA 1) Enhancement of Learning 2) Graduate Education 3) Internationalisation4) Widening Participation

  3. The DRHEA Graduate Education Strand aims to radically reposition the Dublin Region as an International Centre for Graduate , and in particular, doctoral Education by combining the strengths of the six participating institutions• Dublin City University • Dublin Institute of Technology • Institute of Technology, Tallaght • National University of Ireland, Maynooth • Trinity College Dublin • University College Dublin

  4. The DRHEA Graduate Education Strand aims to deliver a general, cost-effective and scalable approach to inter-institutional graduate programmes, encompassing advanced taught courses as a platform for research, which will far exceed the potential of six individual institutions working separately.

  5. Specific Goals of the DRHEA Graduate Education Strand • Provide discipline specific taught modules and Master Classes to doctoral students across the alliance • Provide the administrative infrastructure within and across the institutions to ensure student mobility and credit exchange • Establish inter institutional credit structure for students of DRHEA • Remove constraints on the development of graduate programmes across the DRHEA

  6. DisciplinesA comprehensive range of advanced courses and master classes involving international experts are available to all PhD students in the DRHEA Graduate Education Strand in six disciplines Chemistry Economics Engineering Biomedical Science Politics/Sociology/Public Policy Physics

  9. Inter-institutional Collaborative Agreement To enable module delivery, student mobility and credit exchange across the DRHEA, an Inter-Institutional Collaborative Agreement has been prepared by the DRHEA Graduate Education Coordination Committee and signed by the Registrar or equivalent from each of the participating institutions.

  10. DRHEA Modules and Master Classes In 2008/9 there were approx 50 modules and 10 Master Classes provided to the allianceIn 2009/10 there will be over 60 modules, 10 Master Classes and 2 Research/Graduate Students Days delivered over Semester 1 and Semester 2.
