Aside from building fundamental skills in aged care best practice, the Master of Gerontology will challenge you to extend your leadership ability in the field, preparing you for organisational leadership with a focus on ensuring health and aged care services evolve to meet changing community needs.
You will complete a scholarly, work-relevant project, engaging with gerontology theory, and sharing your research findings with leaders in the field of Gerontology at an end-of-course conference.
