The Centre for Gerontology and Rehabilitation, University College Cork offer two flexible, interdisciplinary programmes, run by Professor Suzanne Timmons:
1. ‘Dementia’ and 2. ‘Older Person Rehabilitation’.
There are three streams of study available for each of the two courses listed above:
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 2023.
