Postgraduate
Certificate: Working with Bereaved Adults
A
specialist qualification which provides a critical study of the
organisation and delivery of bereavement services for adults,
developed by Help the Hospices, Sir Michael Sobell House, and St
Christopher’s Hospice. Validated by Middlesex University.
Change
to Module dates
The taught modules will now take place on:
-
6-10 October 2008 (at Sir Michael Sobell House, Oxford)
-
30 March -3 April 2009 (St Christopher’s Hospice,
Sydenham)
The reason for these changes is that we just
missed recruiting the minimum number of students. Although we’ve
received a lot of enquiries in recent weeks, it’s more likely that
these will convert into employer-supported applications if we have a
longer lead-time before the course starts.
The closing date for applications is 8th
May 2008. For further information and an application pack please
contact Katy Elton at k.elton@helpthehospices.org.uk,
or 0207 520 8898.

MSc Death & Society
with associated Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate
September
2008
This is a unique multidisciplinary social science programme for professionals, pre-doctoral students, and interested laypeople.
The programme can be taken on a full time or part-time basis; teachers include Tony Walter, Glennys Howarth, Allan Kellahear, Malcolm Johnson and Clare Gittings.
Fosters a sense of inquiry as to how a range of societies handle dying, funerals and bereavement. Stimulates thinking about the social organisation of death outside of your professional/disciplinary boundaries.
Critically examines the fundamental concepts and debates in the social scientific study of death, dying and mourning. Explores a range of research approaches that can be taken to the study of mortality.
This programme examines how societies organise, ritualise, theorise and symbolise death, and analyses current practices and policies. The broad social science approach, plus studying alongside others from diverse professions, disciplines and nationalities, enables students to think beyond the boundaries of their own discipline or professional practice.
The MSc Death & Society is a one-year full-time or two-year part-time postgraduate programme. Also available are the Certificate and the Diploma in Death and Society- these are intermediate postgraduate qualifications covering parts of the MSc programme, and can be taken in their own right.
The degree is appropriate for members of the caring professions who want to study death in its social and cultural context, or to explore issues of policy and practice. It is also ideal preparation for those who want to gain multi-disciplinary perspectives and knowledge before going onto PhD level study. Ultimately, the MSc is for anyone who wants to take a structured programme led by some of the foremost death studies scholars in the country.
