More about this course
- Death itself may be certain, but how we die involves many challenges. On this course, you'll explore the care we receive when dying, cultural variations and beliefs around what makes a good death, and the planning and timing of death.
- With increasingly ageing populations, we are living longer but dying more slowly. New ideas around end of life care are therefore emerging in different contexts. You will discover the patterns and global trends taking place in palliative care, and explore these new approaches from a social science and humanities perspective.
- You'll also be learning from health and care experts at the University of Glasgow, recently ranked as offering the number one online healthcare course and number 14 online health and medicine course by Class Central, a search engine ranking the top online classes of all time.
