Graduate Diploma of Dementia

The Graduate Diploma in Dementia offers a research-literate, cross-disciplinary understanding of dementia and its impact on individuals, societies and governments. Graduates will have a range of knowledge and perspectives, and the ability to engage with primary research literature across disciplines, to inform their professional and personal support for the needs of people with dementia. As expectations increase around person-centred care, and decision making informed by knowledge of dementia and the ability to evaluate published evidence, a variety of professional and leadership opportunities may become available for those with postgraduate qualifications in dementia.
