Academy for Continuing Education (ACE)

This module will provide students with an in-depth understanding of the biopsychosocial needs of seniors. Students will learn to view ageing from a holistic perspective and at the same time differentiate and manage biological, physical, psychological and physiological ageing. Students will also acquire knowledge and skills related to mental wellness and resilience for seniors in order to promote positive ageing.   

Biopsychosocial Aspects of Ageing is a module selected from the Diploma in Health Sciences (Health Management). It enables participants to acquire new skills or deepen relevant skills without the need to pursue a full part-time diploma. Further, participants may choose to complete the remaining modules within the validity period, of 5 years, to be awarded the full Part-time Diploma qualification.
