Certificate in Death, Dying and Mourning

ONLINE COURSE commences: Monday 2 March 2009

The purpose of this course is to introduce participants to the various, often competing discourses both constituting and challenging notions of self around death, dying and mourning. An important focus is sociological approaches to these issues as they reflect broader cultural understandings of such issues as community relations and continuity, sex and sexuality, disease, stigma and social control.

This course may be taken as a stand-alone unit with participants receiving a Certificate in Death, Dying and Mourning upon completion of the full course.

Successful participants may then choose to complete additional assessment task(s) and, if successful, have their studies accredited as one unit of study towards a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma or Masters degree offered by the faculty. (Please note this option carries an additional fee for marking and administration.)
