Postgraduate Studies in Dementia / Older Person Rehabilitation

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:

1. Master’s

2. Postgraduate Certificates

3. Individual CPD modules

 

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 2026.

For our upcoming academic year, there are seven modules open for registration as CPD modules:

Semester One                         

Semester Two
