With the number of people living with dementia across the world expected to double in the next 20 years, this innovative course has been developed to provide you with an in-depth, research-based knowledge of dementia and approaches to supporting people with dementia. It’s designed for professionals already working in the field and carers/volunteers who are supporting people with dementia as well as any professionals wanting to learn about dementia to enter into social work or healthcare management.

This Msc Dementia Studies has been traditionally delivered 100% online by University of Stirling. This is the first time that the University is bringing this programme to be delivered in Singapore incorporating reflective studies in healthcare facilities in Singapore with local Tutors to assist students in contextualising to Singapore’s application.

The course is run by a team of academic experts whose research has helped to shape dementia care policy worldwide. University of Stirling is home to the internationally renowned Dementia Services Development Centre which shares ideas and practices with governments and other academic institutions. You’ll learn about the latest theories, innovations and best practice in supporting people with dementia – as well as gaining an overview of policy drivers and initiatives, and a grounding in academic and research skills. Our course also benefits from an advisory group of people with dementia, who support course development.

The course encourages collaborative, interdisciplinary and critical learning. It’s dedicated to creating leaders of change in dementia practice.
