Overview

Newcastle University is a global leader in ageing research. We work across the full spectrum of age-related challenges.

You can take this as a stand-alone qualification or as an entry route onto a PhD or MD.

You'll develop your own bespoke course with our broad range of taught modules. You'll then complete a 24-week research project.

Our teaching is research-informed. Course content changes to reflect developments in:

the discipline

the requirements of external bodies and partners

student feedback

Ageing and health is a competitive research area. Your studies will be centered around academia. You'll also have an opportunity to access industry experience in some cases.
