Graduate Program in Gerontology

Graduate Program in Gerontology

The Postgraduate Program in Gerontology - Master and Doctorate levels is interdisciplinary in nature. It welcomes teachers and students with different backgrounds, provided they are involved in research and teaching about old age, aging and the elderly, and with the care of the elderly in different professional contexts. It is anchored in the disciplinary fields that constitute the theoretical and methodological foundations of Gerontology: Biology of Aging, Medicine, Psychology of Aging and Social Sciences of Aging.

It has graduated more than 160 masters and PhDs, having provided the development of research that has resulted in numerous publications in indexed journals, books and book chapters. It had its Doctorate level recommended by CAPES at the end of 2010 with a grade of 5.0 (five).

Its purpose is to train teachers and researchers trained to produce knowledge and make it accessible to the scientific community and the population, as well as to act in the care of healthy old age and fragile old age, from a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach.

The course is free and the admission of new students takes place through a selection process that usually occurs between the months of March/April or September/October.
