Practitioners, clinicians, and dedicated carers looking to move beyond the traditional biomedical model of dementia will find a transformative space here. This programme attracts professionals who are ready to challenge the common, often limiting, perceptions of dementia as a diagnosis defined solely by loss and despair. By joining this global community, you will shift your focus toward human rights, dignity, and the philosophy of living well with the condition.

You will be encouraged to re-evaluate your practice through a person-centred, multidisciplinary lens. The curriculum is deeply informed by the lived experiences of people with dementia, their families, and their supporters, ensuring that your learning remains grounded in real-world application. Whether you are working in health, social care, or community support, this degree provides the critical thinking tools and emotional intelligence to lead positive change in how we perceive and care for individuals navigating dementia.

A uniquely collaborative approach

The programme stands out for its integration of practical, lived experience. Modules like 'Dying Well with Dementia' are developed in collaboration with end-of-life specialists from Dove House Hospice, providing you with nuanced insights into palliative care and the ethical complexities of end-of-life planning. Throughout your studies, you will engage with an advisory group of people living with dementia, ensuring that your academic development is continuously challenged and enriched by the very people your work aims to support.
