MSc in Applied Gerontology

An interdisciplinary, Asia-focused programme

The Master of Science in Applied Gerontology is an interdisciplinary, Asia-focused programme that provides a holistic and advanced education in the rapidly expanding field of gerontology. It is designed to equip you with in-depth knowledge, skills and practical experience to work with older people in diverse settings.

Taught by faculty from medicine, social sciences, communication, business, arts and humanities and biological sciences, the programme offers a truly interdisciplinary curriculum with a strong Asian focus. Our courses not only build your foundational competencies in gerontology, but also train you to design policies for an ageing population, develop leadership capabilities, innovate and enhance care and support services for older adults.

From the August 2026 intake onwards, you may pursue the programme via the FlexiMaster pathway, with SSG funding available for eligible Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents.

Three pathways, one classroom experience

You can pursue the MSc in Applied Gerontology through three pathways:

  1. Full-time MSc pathway – typically completed in 1 year
  2. Part-time MSc pathway – typically completed in 1.5 years
  3. FlexiMaster pathway with SSG funding – typically completed in 2 years.

Students in all pathways take the same courses and attend the same classes at the same timings. The main difference lies in how many courses you take each trimester, which depends on your chosen pathway. All classes are held on weekday evenings and on Saturdays.
