Master Of Philosophy Ageing Studies
Population Ageing is one of the most significant demographic changes in recent times. Ageing studies cross several disciplines including medicine, public health, sociology, and economics. Research in the area of ageing can contribute to the development of policies and programmes to improve the well-being of older adults and societies as a whole. The MPhil and PhD degree programmes in Ageing Studies are uniquely positioned to produce graduates with demonstrated competencies in research methodologies and who make original contribution to the field.
Applicants with at least an Upper Second Class Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in health or the social sciences will be considered for admission. Students who enroll in this programme usually go on to pursue the PhD, however the Master of Philosophy may be completed on its own. This is research-based programme in which students are required to demonstrate knowledge of research methodologies and a capacity for independent research.
Students are required to pursue at least two graduate courses (six credits) and to present at least two research seminars. Additional credits/courses may be required depending on student’s background. A thesis is submitted after completion of the research.
