Embark on your research journey with the Dementia Studies MPhil at the University of Worcester, a postgraduate programme designed for aspiring researchers passionate about advancing person-centred dementia care. This course addresses the critical need for evidence-based practices and innovative support for individuals living with dementia, their families, and carers. You will join a vibrant academic community, contributing to a dynamic research environment that bridges the gap between international evidence and practical application. If you are driven to influence policy and improve frontline care through rigorous research, this MPhil is your pathway.
This full-time, on-campus MPhil is typically studied over two to four years, providing a structured yet flexible research experience. You will work closely with a dedicated supervisory team, developing your research outline and proposal through regular meetings and engaging with core modules on researcher development. Your second year focuses on data collection and project work, with opportunities to present findings at conferences. The programme culminates in the writing of your thesis and a viva voce examination, preparing you for careers in research, policy development, or advanced practice within the dementia care sector.
