Life-course perspectives on ageing and health
The aim is to provide the student with an overview of the development and distribution of health in the older population. After the course, the student should have basic knowledge of the association between social conditions during the life course, and health and function in old age. Furthermore, the student should have an understanding of the demography of the ageing population, as well as of how health and care vary across different groups of older adults.
Teaching Format
The teaching will be based on lectures and seminars. Participation in the group work and seminars is mandatory. In case of absence, the student will be given a compensatory assignment.
The course will be taught in English.
See the course plan for more information. Detailed information will also be published in Athena for registered students.
