University Master's Degree in Ageing and Health - 16th edition
Academic information
Online teaching organisation
The Master's Degree in Ageing and Health is taught in blended mode. That is, it combines online and face-to-face teaching.
Online teaching
Online teaching is divided into 15 teaching weeks and each subject is planned weekly. Thus, each week the Virtual Campus (Moodle) indicates the blocks that are activated for each subject and the deadline for completing and submitting the corresponding continuous assessment.
For each thematic block, there is a live videoconference session to explain the most important concepts (which are announced in advance) and to allow students to ask and get answers to any questions they might have. The sessions are recorded so that students can view them at any time, if they have not been able to connect at the established time.
Face-to-face teaching
Face-to-face teaching takes place once a month on Fridays from 9.00 to 21.00 and on Saturdays from 9.00 to 15.00 at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences or at the teaching unit of the Sant Joan University Hospital in Reus.
Attendance at face-to-face sessions is compulsory.
Theoretical and/or practical content and the assessment activities are explained during the face-to-face sessions. Check the academic calendar for course 2024-25.
