Overview

Ageing and dementia are recognised by the WHO and UN as global public health concerns. Addressing the challenges of age-related disease, particularly non-communicable conditions such as dementia, is becoming a concern of governments around the world. Against this backdrop, organisations need professionals who can shape public health policies, improve services and support healthy ageing at scale.

Our Masters in Public Health Ageing and Dementia will help you meet this challenge. Everything you’ll learn is designed to give you the skills and knowledge you’ll need to address age-related public health issues in the UK and beyond.

Leading experts in ageing and dementia and public health at the University will prepare you for your future career. As you study this Masters in Public Health (MPH) you’ll learn:

the role public health plays in the lives of older people and people living with dementia around the world;
how to analyse key public health theories and apply these to practice;

how to ensure your research is based on the best and most relevant evidence in the field of ageing and dementia;

how environmental, social, commercial and economic systems influence health outcomes locally and globally;
how to create a significant piece of original ageing and dementia research through your dissertation.

The MPH Ageing and Dementia has an optional 15-day placement module within different health, care and research settings. This provides you with the opportunity to gain real experience of a public health setting and complete a project with the placement organisation.
