Department of Gerontology
The Department of Aging was established in 2001 within the University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences (USWR).
The department is active in teaching theoretical and clinical subjects and is actively involved in research and development. Thus, our faculty and students are engaged in a variety of research activities. While some students have graduated and moved on, numerous students are continuing their further studies with us in this department currently. In this unique department, all staff members are committed to exemplary professional behavior, collaboration, and support. The department welcomes national and also international students at postgraduate levels.
What is Gerontology?
Gerontology is one of the most respected and well-recognized majors in the health care and rehabilitation industry. Gerontology is a comprehensive study of the aging process and problems of elderly individuals. It is the study of physical, mental, and social aspects of aging; the societal changes resulting from the aging population as well as the application of this knowledge to policies and programs. As a result of the multidisciplinary focus of gerontology, professionals from diverse fields call themselves "gerontologists". People are living longer than ever before and there is a demand for supporting the aging population.
The world population is aging quickly across the globe; therefore, there is an immense need for gerontology education across the world. This area of health care would have excellent career prospects in the aged care industry and academic fields. Our graduates can work as policymakers, researchers, academics, and policy analysts, as well as work in the private sector.
Aims
The Department of Gerontology aims to promote, maintain, and restore health and prevent disability in the elderly population. We undertake the best practices in education and research in a progressive and supportive environment for both educators and students.
Our vision is to prepare the highest quality gerontology students. Our mission is to introduce students to the latest world knowledge of gerontology and to perform innovative research.
Toward achieving the aforementioned vision and mission, our department faculty works incredibly hard to provide excellent research and dynamic education. With this aim in mind, we work in collaboration with other universities at national and international levels.
