Marino Institute of Education in Ireland 

Marino Institute of Education (MIE) is a teaching, learning, and research community committed to promoting inclusion and excellence in education. We have a long and proud involvement with education, specifically initial teacher education (ITE), dating back over 100 years. Our association with Trinity began in 1976 when the first intake of lay students registered for the Bachelor in Education (B.Ed.) course. 

In July 2011, this relationship was further strengthened with the formalization of an agreement that places MIE under the joint trusteeship of the Congregation of Christian Brothers European Province and Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin. In the last decade, the academic mission and scope of MIE’s activity have been re-envisioned to encompass a deeper understanding of education in and beyond the classroom, to incorporate the continuum of teacher education and the education of specialist education practitioners at early years, primary and further education levels. 

This is allied with a commitment to education studies encompassing non-traditional education settings and the wider education environment in a pluralist context.
