There is no other Master's degree on the market that has really designed its own strategies for the senior brain. Most of them try to alleviate the sequelae of diseases or simply accompany the elderly person in an attempt to improve their suffering. In this Master we design a whole intervention guided to the knowledge of brain functioning from the age of 65 years and that aims not so much to make a palliative treatment, but to try to get the elderly who suffers to get out of this suffering and thus settle in the satisfaction. 

By taking thisprofessional master’s degree you will learn to analyze the current situation of old age in our society, as well as to prepare yourself for the immediate future, since, in the coming decades, when today's young people become "old", new knowledge and tools will be needed to achieve the best possible quality of life. 

Knowing the history of the person is fundamental whatever the age at which we work, but in old age it is essential not only as a means of knowledge to be able to intervene, but also as an end of the intervention itself. 

The work of loneliness, boredom, physical pain and cognitive deficiencies is essential for the psychologist to be effective in the intervention in the elderly, but above all the emotional management of each moment is perhaps the most interesting asset to ensure that the old people of tomorrow can continue to be masters of their lives.
