DESCRIPTION The Programme focuses on addictions policy, programme

on clinical issues germane to service provision. This Programme

covering key issues from an international viewpoint. Knowledge of

addictions.
Full-time students take two modules at a time, part-time students
take one module both running over a 10 week semester. Full-time

coursework. Part-time students can expect to spend about 15-20
hours per week. Time is spent following narrated lectures, set
reading assignments, online discussion board, mandatory review

Christmas time, and another break for part-timers at the end of
