Masters Degrees (Gerontology)

We have 25 Masters Degrees (Gerontology)

A Masters Degree in Gerontology is a postgraduate programme that specialises in the study of aging. This degree focuses on providing in-depth knowledge about the biological, psychological, and social aspects of aging.

It encompasses understanding various concepts related to aging like longevity, age-related diseases, retirement policies as well as learning about interventions to enhance the quality of life for older adults.

A Masters in Gerontology is typically structured to be completed in one and half to two years, depending on whether the student is studying full time or part-time. It often incorporates both theory and practical application through research work or internships at healthcare facilities or governmental organisations aimed at elderly care services.

Why study a Masters in Gerontology

There are several compelling reasons to pursue a Masters Degree in Gerontology. The primary reason lies in the opportunity it presents to make a meaningful difference in the lives of older adults.

As the global population ages, there is an increasing demand for professionals equipped with specialised knowledge and skills required for effective geriatric care as well as policy making. A masters degree in this field can lead to fulfilling careers, ranging from eldercare service planning and healthcare management, to research roles investigating age-related diseases or developing interventions that enhance senior citizens’ quality of life.
