Graduate Certificate in Healthy Longevity Medicine

Programme Highlights

The NUS Academy for Healthy Longevity, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore, is proud to launch the Graduate Certificate in Healthy Longevity Medicine, commencing in August 2026.

Offered by the world’s 8th-ranked university and number 1 in Asia, this interdisciplinary programme is the first postgraduate programme globally to integrate geroscience and precision geromedicine into a single curriculum designed for professionals.

This semester-long hybrid programme combines flexible online learning with one immersive in-person week delivered at the beginning and one at the end of the programme in Singapore. It is tailored for health professionals (medical and allied health), while also welcoming scientists, public policymakers, and entrepreneurs seeking advanced training in the rapidly expanding field of healthy longevity.

The Graduate Certificate covers:

• Determinants and hallmarks of ageing
• Gerodiagnostics: biological, clinical and digital biomarkers of ageing; biological ageing clocks
• AI and multi-omics in precision geromedicine
• Gerointerventions: exposome, lifestyle, nutraceutical, and pharmacological gerotherapeutics
• Public health, policy, ethics, and translational challenges in healthy longevity

The Graduate Certificate comprises 12 Modular Credits and is stackable towards the Master in Healthy Longevity (40 Modular Credits) with two specialization Geroscience and Precision Geromedicine, scheduled to commence in January 2027.

Course Schedule: 17/08/2026 – 22/08/2026 (Onsite Intensive Week 1),  24/08/2026 – 28/11/2026 (Online Learning),  30/11/2026 – 05/12/2026 (Onsite Intensive Week 2).

Learning Outcomes

1. Integrate core biological, clinical, and population-level principles of healthy longevity to explain the mechanisms underlying ageing, healthspan, and disease prevention across the life course.
2. Critically evaluate evidence-based and emerging technologies, interventions and policies, related to healthy longevity, including lifestyle, clinical, and emerging therapeutic approaches, to inform professional practice and decision-making.
3. Apply healthy longevity concepts to real-world professional contexts, designing or assessing strategies that promote health, function, and wellbeing in individuals, organisations, or populations.

Who Should Attend

This programme is designed for established professionals from diverse backgrounds, including medicine, dietetics, nursing, biomedical sciences, public health, and business development, as well as individuals seeking to enter or advance in the field of Healthy Longevity Medicine.

Course Agenda

The curriculum integrates biological, clinical, public health, and translational perspectives across three interconnected courses:

Foundations of healthy longevity

• Historical and anthropological perspectives
• Development of healthy longevity medicine
• Introduction to geroscience and the hallmarks of ageing
• Determinants of healthy longevity across the lifespan
• Demography, and the longevity debate
• Life course epidemiology
• Global policy frameworks for healthy longevity and ageing

Gerodiagnostics and biomarkers of ageing

• Physiological, molecular, and digital biomarkers of ageing
• Biological age and ageing clocks
• Multi-omics and AI in precision geromedicine
• Wearables and digital health technologies
• Translating biomarkers of aging into clinical and public health practice

Gerointerventions

• Lifestyle interventions
• Cognitive, behavioural, and environmental optimisation
• Nutraceuticals and pharmacological gerotherapeutics
• Emerging gerotherapeutics
• Multimodal gerointerventions matched to gerodiagnostics
• Regulatory and translational challenges using gerointerventions

Mode of Learning

The programme strongly emphasises interdisciplinary exchange, translational learning, and professional networking. Participants will engage directly with faculty, clinicians, researchers, and industry professionals through interactive discussions, collaborative activities, and applied case sessions focused on healthy longevity.

Pre-Requisites and Assessment

Pre-requisites

Applicants should have relevant work experience and/or demonstrate a strong interest in health sector transformation.

International applicants whose prior education was not conducted in English are required to submit proof of English proficiency.

Assessment

Assessment comprises both formative and summative components, including examinations, oral presentations, and written assignments, depending on the requirements of each module.

For modules such as Gerodiagnostics and Gerotherapeutics, assessments may include closed- or open-book examinations featuring multiple-choice and short-answer questions.

Awards and Certification

All participants will receive a Certificate of Competence and Certificate of Participation upon passing all assessment components and completing the course.
