Highlighting dementia related specialist and higher education courses

One of the aims of Dementia Researcher is to encourage people to consider a career in dementia research. Completing an MSc or other further dementia education, is a great way to prepare yourself for further study at PhD level, to help you progress within your clinical field or to gain dementia or neuroscience knowledge that can be combined with your own field of study - be that in the creative arts, maths, coding, communications or something else.
