What You'll Learn
GER301 Ageing and Society: A Multi-Disciplinary Perspective is a compulsory course designed to highlight the new paradigm for ageing. In the golden age of ageing, the student can learn a wide range of subjects beyond the previous thought of ageing as an immutable biological process. These topics include integrated care support and services, re-definition of roles of older adults, policy issues and economic implications. It will take a practical and experiential learning approach where students can learn cases outside of the classroom to appreciate the different perspectives.
