"A few years ago I worked in a nursing home as a supporter in living activities and during this job I noticed that the field of elderly care could really benefit from improvements. When I saw the opportunity for the master Health, Ageing and Society after my bachelor’s, I liked the idea of learning more about the healthcare system and contributing to possible improvements."

"After studying and working as a physiotherapist for years, I encountered many older individuals in practice, and I felt the need to provide better care to them. This program can give me insight into the aging and well-being of the aging population and guide me in which practice."

"I missed the “social/human” side of medicine. As a future doctor, regardless of specialization, you will be involved in the care of elderly patients, and so it's important for me that I remember that the patient sitting across from me is a human being and not just a disease I need to treat."
