intercalated bsc gerontology

Our intercalated BSc in Gerontology is the only course of its kind in the UK. Population ageing means that there are now more people aged over 60 than children under 16 in the UK. Whether in general practice or hospital based, it is likely that most doctor’s patients will be older people.
