Presentation

The aim of the Master 2 in Gerontology is to train all professionals working in the geriatrics and gerontology sectors. This level 1 diploma is aimed at people holding or wishing to hold a managerial position in a social, medico-social or healthcare establishment, or in private consulting or training structures in the gerontology sector.

The professional Master 2 in Gerontology was created in 2004 by Professor Claude Jeandel, at the request of professionals in the sector who wanted to develop specific training courses in the Languedoc-Roussillon region to support the elderly. This multi-disciplinary training program brings together the region's gerontology professionals and university teaching staff.

This master's degree is co-accredited with Sorbonne University, which offers the following 4 teaching units:

Standardized gerontological assessment

Training gerontology trainers/tutors

Nutrition and hygiene for the elderly

Telehealth
