Master of Science (Leadership in Gerontology and Rehabilitation Studies)

About

The Master of Science (Leadership in Gerontology and Rehabilitation Studies) is designed to provide opportunities for clinicians working with older people or clients with rehabilitation needs. You will be able to critically review the health and wellbeing of older people, review social policy in aged care, and develop advocacy skills to work with users, carers and colleagues in the health, social care and voluntary sectors. The program differs from courses offered by other NSW and Australian universities in that it includes a rehabilitation approach to developing services for older people.
