There are many ways you can enhance your knowledge around dementia and dementia care at the University of Stirling. From our short courses to postgraduate modules, there is something available for you.
Our online Dementia Studies course can be studied from anywhere in the world. The course is designed for professionals already working in the field, volunteers supporting people with a dementia or people wishing to develop a career in dementia care. We aim to provide the skills and knowledge to become a leader in dementia care and to share your learning with others to create positive change in the lives of people with dementia. Apply now to join this course from January 2027 or contact the programme director for more information (louise.mccabe@stir.ac.uk).
Alongside out postgraduate programme we are offering two short courses, also offered flexibly online, but without the requirement for previous academic study.
Our course on supporting families with Huntington’s disease is run in collaboration with Scottish Huntington’s Association, offering unique insights from practice and research into the best care and support for families facing this devastating condition.
The value of engaging with people with a dementia and their families is now widely recognised as an important part of improving services or designing news ways of support individuals and families. Our short course on participatory approaches provides up-to-date ideas and examples of how to engage people with a dementia and how to put these ideas into practice to ensure the care and support provided matches the wishes of people with a dementia.
Places available on our courses for January 2027.
