Programme Introduction<\/h2>\n
\n

Among the major transformations and challenges of contemporary societies is the demographic transition, brought by the increased longevity, by the decreasing birth and death rates as a consequence of improved healthcare and living conditions. The ageing population is a global phenomenon and occupies a prominent place in political agendas and in the fields of social educational and health intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The uniqueness of the ageing processes and the plurality of experiences and trajectories of those in the later stages of their life journey necessitate a broad reflection about responses and strategies for social educational and health intervention with the senior population. In all contexts, there must be competent, qualified and dedicated professionals promoting healthy ageing. This intervention requires, on one hand, the recognition of the heterogeneity of needs and requests, and on the other, an individualised approach, taking into account the specificities of each human being and the context in which they live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This master’s programme aims to equip students with the skills to better respond to the transformations resulting from the ageing population, which holds a prominent place in political agendas and in the fields of social and health intervention. Additionally, this master’s programme seeks to promote the development of research skills and lifelong learning, which will enable the rethinking of public policies, involving multiple sectors such as health, education, social security and work, the economy, justice, territorial planning and development, housing, transport, tourism, new technologies, and culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
