The Faculty of Health Sciences offers the new interdisciplinary MSc in Dementia. This MSc in Dementia course is open to a wide range of interdisciplinary professionals who have experience in delivering a dementia care approach. Interdisciplinary Input to the design, development and delivery of this course stems from a variety of Schools within Trinity College, Dublin including the School of Nursing and Midwifery, the School of Occupational Therapy; from the Dementia Services Information and Development Centre and from key dementia professionals and advocacy groups.
The aim of this interdisciplinary course is to provide an opportunity for students to develop a comprehensive academic and evidence based approach to their practice and to critically explore and critique dementia care service provision. The design of the course is such that it enhances the collaboration between disciplines working with individuals with Dementia Care needs and their families / significant others.
The course is firmly grounded in a body of knowledge that aims to promote excellence in the participant´s area of practice. It is designed to provide an academically robust education for the participants and the various modules offered develop and complement subjects undertaken at degree or `equivalent´ level. For the duration of the course, students need to be employed in an area where the principles of dementia care are operationalised when caring for individuals living with dementia and their families.
