The master´s degree
The `Vitality and Ageing´ master´s degree is tailored to talented doctors who have completed their basic medical training. No matter your future area of specialisation, this master´s degree is an excellent stepping stone towards modern medical practice. It focuses on the biological and social aspects of the ageing process (gerontology) as well as on the medical aspects of the care for elderly people (geriatrics). The organisation and management of the care process is also closely examined. Additionally, the degree programme leaves ample room for personal development - a requirement if one is to provide the highest quality medical care in the future. Such initiatives are notably absent from modern medical curricula, making this internationally accredited Master of Science degree unique and exclusive. Leyden Academy attracts esteemed scientific staff from all over the world in order to guarantee the highest level of education. The master´s degree also offers a select few the opportunity to proceed to a doctorate programme.

Degree programme structure
The Vitality and Ageing master´s degree programme lasts one academic year and is divided into three thematic semesters: gerontology, geriatrics and healthcare structure. Basic skills including academic development, clinical research, management and leadership are constant threads running through the curriculum. The Vitality and Ageing master´s degree is an intensive programme that goes beyond attending lectures and participating in work groups. Students are expected to do more than merely absorb facts. The intensive, international nature of the programme means that personal development also - and perhaps mostly - occurs outside of the lecture halls, during meetings involving arts, culture, society and elderly themselves. Because cooperation and communication are crucial skills in medicine, the master´s degree pays special attention to personal development. Written and verbal communication, teamwork and defending a position are given particular attention. Personalised tutoring has been developed with this goals in mind.
