About Master of Philosophy - Gerontology and Ageing Studies
Understanding and addressing the complex issues around ageing has never been more important. In the UK over the last 25 years, the number of people aged 65 and over has increased by more than 1.5 million and globally the population aged 60 and over is growing faster than all younger age groups.
Swansea University's internationally renowned Centre for Innovative Ageing (CIA) is the largest gerontology research center in Wales and one of the largest in the UK, providing the ideal base for postgraduate research. The CIA is also home to the Centre for Ageing and Dementia Research (CADR), a multi-disciplinary research center addressing internationally important questions in ageing and dementia.
The most recent Research Excellence Framework in 2014–2021 ranked Swansea 3rd in the UK for Swansea University research outputs.
Students are currently exploring topics such as the impact of lifestyle on cognitive function in later life, dementia care environments, age-friendly communities for people with mobility difficulties and the driving cessation process amongst older drivers.
