Overview

A research degree with the Oxford School of Nursing and Midwifery allows you to develop your research knowledge and skills to advance Nursing and Midwifery theory and practice. This will contribute to internationally recognised research supported by research active staff and a vibrant, cross-discipline research student community.

The School offers high quality research facilities that can be accessed by both part-time and full-time students. All research students become part of the University's Graduate College, which runs a comprehensive programme of training sessions and workshops to give you the opportunity to acquire both research and transferable skills to advance your career. We complement this with research methodology courses, seminars featuring eminent academics, and the opportunity to present work at the Annual Faculty Research Student Symposium.

We also offer a Professional Doctorate in Nursing (DNurs) and a Professional Doctorate in Midwifery (DMid)
