Certificate/Diploma in Healthy Ageing

With the gradual increase of the ageing population in the country, the subject on optimal functioning in old age is finally starting to receive curious attention. This is primarily because scientific evidences as well as popular literature inform that people are increasingly living into late adulthood with lingering physical, social, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Thus, this certificate course provides the students with the opportunity to acquire knowledge, understanding with appreciation, and skills in the field of positive and healthy ageing. Developmental issues of ageing will also be tackled in the course such as family relationships, loss of loved ones, relocation, medical conditions, care-giving demands, legal and financial issues, sexuality, memory, emotional issues, and community-based services and programs.
