The MSc Dementia Studies is the only masters' degree in South Wales that specializes in dementia. The MSc Dementia Studies was developed by people living with dementia, family carers, health, social and allied health professionals.
The MSc Dementia Studies course is designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills and aptitude to work with people living with dementia and their carers. This masters degree is for anyone working with people with dementia and their careers in either a professional or volunteering capacity.
Studying this MSc Dementia Studies course will enable you to provide effective care for people living with dementia and their careers.
The MSc Dementia has been co-produced by people living with dementia, careers, health and social care professionals, and people from the third sector (eg Alzheimer’s Society).
It has also incorporated recent government frameworks in order to ensure that students completing this course are able to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and aptitude required for working with people living with dementia and their careers in a variety of settings.
The MSc Dementia will be useful for those seeking future roles within management (as a masters’ level degree is often a requirement for leadership positions within organizations such as the NHS) or research (as this course may provide opportunities for progression onto postgraduate research degrees such as MPhil/PhD).

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
