‘Health, Ageing and Society’ is the new name for the Master’s Vitality and Ageing. We are ready for change – are you?! The name reflects the broad contents of the study and it better reflects what the programme stands for. Approximately 150 students have graduated since the start of the programme in 2016. Will you be next?! In the coming months, we will be updating our website. We have already added some new videos and the new yearbook (2022-‘23). Also, copies of the three main course books will be available soon. We hope you enjoy reading and watching, and hope to see you at one of our information activities!
