The Dementia (M.Sc.) at Trinity College Dublin is designed for healthcare professionals seeking to deepen their expertise in understanding and managing dementia care. This programme addresses the critical need for specialised knowledge and advanced skills within the healthcare system, particularly in supporting individuals with dementia and their families. You will engage with a robust curriculum grounded in current research and clinical practice, preparing you to lead and innovate in dementia care. This postgraduate degree is ideal for those committed to promoting excellence and compassionate care in this vital field.
You will study on campus full-time over one year, or part-time over two years if you choose the clinical practice module. The M.Sc. blends theoretical content through lectures, group discussions, and self-directed learning with practical application. Your learning journey includes specialist modules and, crucially, a substantial dissertation where you will conduct in-depth research on a dementia-related topic. You will graduate with advanced dementia-specific knowledge and skills, positioning you for specialised roles in nursing, medicine, occupational therapy, social work, and other allied health professions focused on dementia care.
