Description

Note: This degree is no longer available to new admissions. This program of study will be of particular interest to those who wish to broaden and deepen their understanding of ageing and health. The program encourages students to adopt a reflective and interdisciplinary approach to ageing and health, considering topics such as the diversity of human experience and values in this area; the structure and physiology of ageing; alternative delivery systems to meet the health needs of Australia's rapidly increasing elderly population; and the role and relevance of health promotion to the aged. Students enrolled in the Postgraduate Certificate in Ageing and Health can, on application, transfer to the Postgraduate Diploma or Masters program.
