Active Ageing and Health

Active Ageing and Health

This curriculum has been designed in response to the need to train researchers in the area of ageing and health, and therefore, it is reflected in their skills. These competencies are acquired throughout each of the subjects in a transversal way. It has subjects that will specifically allow the training of students as researchers (Research Methodology in Ageing, Master's Thesis).

This research profile focuses on the field of health sciences, and the phenomenon of human and social aging, deepening, from the conceptual, procedural, and attitudinal content acquired in the first cycle studies, or degree. With this study plan, we are also committed to the innovative nature and the emerging need for qualified professionals in the field of management and social health care. Therefore, the study plan addresses new technologies applied to health promotion and strategic resource management for optimizing aging,

We also consider it essential for the formation of this type of professional profile to have a compulsory External Internship course, of 6 ECTS, to be carried out in both public and private institutions with which our Faculty has a teaching and research agreement. The purpose of these practices will be to experience the applicability of the knowledge acquired in the theoretical subjects, making possible the visibility of the impact of the high training of professionals in companies committed to promoting active aging and health.

The Master's Final Project course (12 ECTS) is designed for the student to acquire the ability to design and carry out a research project, from its conceptual phase to the communication of the results. For the defense and evaluation of the TFM, the student must be passed the rest of the subjects of the degree.
