As the demographic transition evolves, the proportion of the population over 65 years of age is constantly rising in all developed countries. This eventuality, coupled with the increase in life expectancy and the improvement of living conditions constitutes a major challenge for health and insurance systems globally, as sustainability and financial efficacy must balance the increased demand of services on behalf for the elderly. Thus, gerontology and geriatrics have evolved as key multidisciplinary fields for health professionals interested in the acquisition of new skills and the development of the necessary means to cope with the health needs of our senior citizens. Within the structured curriculum of the new MSc in Gerontology, students will have the chance to complete their knowledge on key theoretical areas referring to the health and wellbeing of the elderly and practice the necessary techniques for administration, implementation and promotion of health and welfare services related to the elderly.
