About front page gerontology
The Nordic Master's Degree Programme in Gerontology, NordMaG, is implemented in three Nordic countries, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. NordMaG offers advanced understanding of key issues and controversies related to ageing and the elderly, covering topics related to ageing of individuals and populations, consequences of aging as well as factors that underlie the ageing processes. The programme explores the most common issues of well-being in old age and ways to promote successful and healthy ageing.
The NordMaG is integrated into a local master´s degree programme at the respective universities (120 ECTS credits). At the University of Iceland the studies are organized into four academic terms and an individual study plan will be established for the students. At Lund University and Jönköping University, the programme is presently organized over 4 years i.e. half-time studies. Through an individual study plan the programme can be completed in 2 years. NTNU in Gjøvik offers a course on the Psychology of Ageing (10 ECTS credits) as part of NordMaG.
