The Irish Centre for Social Gerontology at NUI Galway is introducing a diploma in Social Gerontology starting September 2010.
The Diploma in Social Gerontology is a two-year, stand-alone, part-time programme for mature students. The programme covers a broad range of economic, social and political theories relating to ageing and examines public policy for older people across a number of fields. It is designed to equip students with the professional and analytical skills necessary to understand age and ageing in an economic, social and policy context and to enhance and develop their careers in age-related fields.
Who should consider this course?
The course is open to health or social care professionals, people who work in a governmental, non-governmental and voluntary organisations, older volunteers, members of older people's groups or those who wish to study issues related to older people.
Entry requirements
No previous knowledge of social gerontology is required. If you are interested in ageing and the economic and social forces that impact on ageing, apply for this programme. Applicants are normally expected to have satisfied the matriculation requirement of the University either on the basis of mature years (aged 21 or over by 1 January of the year of entry) or by meeting the normal minimum entry requirements of the University. However, applications from those who do not meet either of these criteria are considered on a case-by-case basis.
