Advanced Dementia Studies MSc/PGDip/PGCert

Overview

Advanced Dementia Studies is a part-time distance learning programme. By studying online, you will have the flexibility to fit your studies around your working life and learn from, and with, students from around the world.

• MSc Advanced Dementia Studies - 3 years
• PGDip Advanced Dementia Studies - 2 years
• PGCert Dementia Studies - 1 year

We adopt a human rights perspective to understanding the experience of people living with dementia and encourage multidisciplinary team-working and service user engagement. Our programme is underpinned by cutting-edge research and it has been designed to be directly applicable to the workplace and to help you develop your own and your colleagues' practice.

We work closely with Experts by Experience (people living with dementia and carers) to create, inform, develop and evaluate the curriculum and teach relevant subjects.

This programme is intended for UK and international students who are:

• Health and social care professionals who want to gain a specific qualification in working with people who have dementia
• Voluntary workers who already have contact with people with dementia

You do not need to attend the University at any point during your studies. However, this does not mean you need to study alone - you will be part of a group of fellow national and international students passionate about improving dementia care.

2024 marks a significant milestone for our Master's in Advanced Dementia Studies programme, as we celebrate its 20th anniversary.

From its inception, our Master's - the first postgraduate programme of its kind in England, has been dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of dementia and equipping social and healthcare professionals with the skills and confidence needed to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those caring and living with the condition.
