About the course

The range of research topics for our Ageing MPhil, PhD and MD programmes is diverse. We accept proposals from many areas related to ageing and age-related health.

　　Increased life expectancy has changed a lot in the last century. We are living longer, and our quality of life depends on healthy ageing. Older people are at increased risk of disease and disability. This can affect their quality of life and impact their families. Newcastle's research and treatment of our ageing population is important for us all. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
