SUSS Dialogue Session: Graduate Diploma, Master and Doctor of Philosophy (Gerontology)


The rapidly ageing population in Singapore and concomitant need for trained professionals in the health, social and psychological services have given rise to an imperative need for graduate programmes in gerontology.

As the needs of older persons are specialised, dedicated attention within the training to address specific characteristics such as the ageing process demands for interdisciplinary courses in gerontology.

The Singapore University of Social Sciences’ Master of Gerontology, with graduate certificate, graduate diploma and PhD options, is the first in Singapore to offer a holistic training for a rewarding career in the eldercare sector, employing a blend of theoretical and practical teaching modes.
