Key Benefits Taught by the faculty in the Institute of Gerontology, one of the leading centres for the study of ageing. A highly flexible study course, drawing on a broad range of professional and disciplinary expertise, including geriatrics, demography, epidemiology, sociology and social policy.
We offer close links with, and regular speakers from, social policy and various healthcare fields, providing insights and up-to-the-minute knowledge of these areas as they affect ageing and older people. You will gain an awareness of national, crossnational and comparative perspectives of ageing populations, the ageing process and older people in society throughout the course.
Career prospects Our graduates go on to pursue a range of careers including consultant positions in geriatric medicine and psychiatry, speciality healthcare roles with older people, and strategic positions influencing the lives of older people in government, policy and voluntary and non-government organisations.
Find out more about Mobility, Mood and Place. Investigating how different long-term care systems and recent long-term care reforms are associated with socioeconomic inequalities in care among older adults, and the consequences of these inequalities for the wellbeing of older care recipients and their caregivers. Find out more about the Annual David Hobman Lecture. Ageing policy, health and healthcare We investigate the factors leading to better physical, mental and social health in later life.
We also look at how health and social services throughout the life course can be optimised to improve health and well-being at older ages.
Communities, work and family life We examine how societal, political and policy changes in work and family life have affected intergenerational relations and the lives of older people. Global ageing We study how governments should be preparing for the rapid ageing of populations around the world. This includes how these changes in family and community structures impact on support, housing, health and care in later life, particularly in societies with little institutional protection for older people.
