Program Outline

This International Program in Addiction Studies is an online program of graduate study. The program will be available to students from all countries, but online lectures, assignments and correspondence will be in English only. The program is jointly designed and implemented by the academic staff of three of the world's leading universities in the growing field of addiction science: The University  of Adelaide, King's College London (UK) and Virginia Commonwealth
University (US).

Its aim is to develop professionals who are fully prepared to assume leadership roles in the addictions field throughout the world. The program will provide students with an advanced educational experience covering the scientific basis of addiction, comparative epidemiology, evidence-based interventions (including pharmacological, psychosocial and public health approaches), research methodology and addictions policy.

Lecturers will be selected from among the world's leading authorities in each of these subject areas, while programme directors will be faculty members of the three participating universities. The firm scientific grounding of the program,
covering a range of areas from treatment to policy, and its unique international perspective make it appropriate for recent graduates and professionals working in a range of fields such as health, law enforcement, policy and education.

Program Structure

IPAS is an intensive program completed in a 12-month period or in part-time over 24 months. The program starts in August each year.
