Overview

We adopt a human rights perspective to understanding the experience of people living with dementia and encourage multidisciplinary team-working and service user engagement. This Advanced Dementia Studies programme from University of Bradford is underpinned by cutting-edge research and it has been designed to be directly applicable to the workplace and to help you develop your own and your colleagues' practice. 

We work closely with Experts by Experience (people living with dementia and carers) to create, inform, develop and evaluate the curriculum and teach relevant subjects.

This programme is intended for UK and international students who are:

Health and social care professionals who want to gain a specific qualification in working with people who have dementia

Voluntary workers who already have contact with people with dementia

Career Prospects

A Dementia Studies award may be a good career development move for you if you are already working in the dementia field and wish to specialise in this area of practice. Expectations are increasing about the quality of care people with dementia should receive. This means that there will be many opportunities for you to progress in your career having studied successfully at this advanced level.

Many of our students receive promotions or are successful in applying for new posts. The postgraduate programmes in Dementia Studies do not, however, lead to a professional qualification or registration.
