​
What is Dementia?
Dementia is a syndrome which covers a spectrum of degenerative disorders. It manifests as a progressive decline in functioning that affects cognitive skills, personality and behaviour.
Dementia has a profound impact on individuals, families and communities,
posing significant challenges to quality of life.
The number of people with dementia across the world increases every year as our global population ages.
It is fast becoming known as the public health concern of the 21st Century.​
​
"Education is crucial to help reduce stigma and improve the lives of people living with dementia and their families."
International Study
At the Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre they offer ALL their courses fully online to a global market.
There are no on-campus components and therefore our courses are ideal for our international students. You can complete an undergraduate or postgraduate degree from your home country and still connect with your peers worldwide in an online environment.
The Wicking Dementia Centre has been offering online education since 2012 and we continually update and refine our courses to ensure we provide the most relevant and up-to-date information based on the latest research evidence.
The rising prevalence of dementia globally is creating new challenges and opportunities within the health and aged care sectors. By undertaking study and learning from the global experts in dementia education, you will increase your knowledge to enable you to provide better care, advice, and strategies around dementia.
