Course Description

MSc Advanced Dementia Studies is a part-time distance learning programme. By studying online you will have the flexibility to fit your studies around your working life and learn from and with students from around the world.

  • MSc Advanced Dementia Studies – 3 years
  • PGDip Advanced Dementia Studies – 2 years
  • PGCert Dementia Studies – 1 year

The programme has been designed to develop you as a leader in your field of dementia care and enable you to use the best evidence available to support your work. We adopt a human rights perspective to understanding the experience of people living with dementia and encourage multidisciplinary team-working and service user engagement. Our programme is underpinned by cutting-edge research. 

This programme is intended for UK and international students who are:

  • Health and social care professionals who want to gain a specific qualification in working with people who have dementia
  • Voluntary workers who already have contact with people with dementia

Our flexible approach allows you to combine study with work and home life. Our online courses are designed to be directly applicable to the workplace and to help you develop your own and your colleagues’ practice.

The course is assessed fully online – you not need to attend the University at any point during your studies. However, this does not mean you need to study alone – you will be part of a group of fellow national and international students passionate about improving dementia care. 

Entry Requirements

Candidates should have a first degree with 2:2 or above in a relevant subject area.

However, if you have had any prior experience of successful study at undergraduate or postgraduate level you may apply, providing evidence such as certificates and transcripts.  The programme team will make a decision based the overall quality of your application.
