Study programmes

Longevity Studies is an integrated study of humanities, social, health and other applied sciences. It responds to the demand for expertise in issues related to longevity and population aging, with emphasis on the need for professional and scientific solutions and the use of knowledge in different areas of human activity. The study of the field enables a deeper and wider understanding of the contexts and challenges associated with the prolonging human age in the context of further changes in society and prepares for qualified search for answers and solutions to theoretical and practical questions and ethical contexts. It responds to ongoing demographic changes, not only in terms of population aging (gerontology), but also to prolonging the lives of people with disabilities and chronic morbidity and other specific groups. The program is interdisciplinary. It is methodologically based on social sciences, sociology, social and cultural anthropology, and public health, but also uses methods of other disciplines. On the practical and strategic level, it corresponds to the strategy of active and healthy aging of the UN and WHO. The program is based on the experience of the Center for Longevity and Long-Term Care CELLO, its international cooperation, such as the Global Longevity Center Global Network (as the only representative of the CEE countries), project solutions, including major international projects (FRAM, INDUCT, PALLIARE). CELLO follows new trends in modern gerontology, as well as solving issues related to the longevity, which are not yet solved in doctoral studies at the university.
