Christ (Deemed to be University), World Headache Society partner to launch dementia specialisation track

In response to India’s rising dementia burden, Christ (Deemed to be University) has partnered with the World Headache Society (WHS) to launch a five-year academic collaboration that will introduce a structured specialisation track in dementia studies within a Master’s programme in neuropsychology.

The initiative, described as the first-of-its-kind structured track in India, will be offered from the second year of the Master’s programme and is set to commence with the 2026–27 academic batch. The programme will integrate clinical exposure, guest lectures, and supervised training through the WHS Cognition and Behaviour Group, while also enabling joint research, academic supervision, and international publications.
