Overview
Dementia Studies: Contemporary Approaches to Practice is an interdisciplinary course that offers cutting-edge knowledge about dementia and developments in care and service provision.
The course is designed for all those involved in the delivery of health and social care for people living with dementia. Undertaking the course will help you gain the specialist knowledge you will need to become an effective leader in dementia care.
Dementia is a global priority and identified by the World Health Organisation as the 21st century's biggest health and social challenge. It is estimated that 55 million people have dementia worldwide, and the growing number of people living with dementia has an extensive societal and economic impact.
More importantly, dementia has a significant personal impact on individuals and their families. It is therefore essential that we build a workforce with the necessary skills and knowledge to plan, lead and deliver services for contemporary and future populations.
Career
Successful completion of the course will provide health and social care professionals with specialist knowledge and leadership skills in dementia care. This expertise can help improve employment prospects and enhance the likelihood of career progression in dementia related services.
In addition, for students interested in developing a research career or conducting further study, we have a doctoral programme. Doctoral study at UWL will help you develop the skills you need to work as a successful researcher.
You should have an honours degree (2:2 or above) from a UK university or equivalent in a related subject (such as nursing, occupational therapy, social work, psychology, or similar) and relevant work experience (such as health, social, independent, or voluntary sector care). Or you may be planning a career working in or leading dementia care services. If you do not have a 2.2 Honours degree or international equivalent in a related subject, then we may offer you a place based on relevant work experience and training in dementia care. All applications are considered individually.
