Postgraduate Studies in Dementia / Older Person Rehabilitation

4 Apr 2025

Centre for Gerontology and Rehabilitation, University College Cork offer two flexible, interdisciplinary programmes, run by Professor Suzanne Timmons in Dementia and Older Person Rehabilitation with three streams of study: 

1. Master's
2. Postgraduate Certificates
3. Individual Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

The programmes are both available full-time or part-time and can be tailored to your interests with a wide range of optional modules. Most modules for both courses are delivered as blended-learning and therefore suit students who wish to study remotely and commute for the in-class workshops.

Applications are currently being invited, and the next intake of the programmes will commence in September 2025.
