COURSE DESCRIPTION
Our Graduate Diploma in International Addiction Studies is a unique online program. It provides a deep understanding current issues, treatments and controversies in the global drug addiction field.
The course is delivered online through three of the world’s leading universities in addiction sciences: The University of Adelaide; Virginia Commonwealth University; and the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London. On completion of the degree, you’ll be recognised as a graduate of all three universities.
What will you do?
You can study from anywhere in the world as you:
explore all aspects of addiction—from pharmacological and psychosocial treatments to public health and policy
work through forward-thinking lectures, readings and modules
learn from world experts in addiction
access multiple libraries and resources
develop international networks.
Where could it take you?
This diploma will be beneficial in a range of professions that interact with addiction. Maybe you’re in law enforcement or social work and want to support changes in your community. Perhaps you’re a counsellor looking to take on a specialised role in addiction. You might be a research scientist or a public health graduate pursuing innovation and policy changes.
