The PG Diploma in Global Ageing and Policy (DL) is made up of 6 taught modules and is designed to provide a multidisciplinary introduction to gerontology and policy evaluation to busy mid-career professionals, new entrants to the University and the social sciences, or returners to education who wish to pursue the subject area.
