Graduate Certificate in International Addiction Studies

Join world leaders in addiction prevention

Our Graduate Certificate in International Addiction Studies is a unique online program. It provides a broad understanding of drug addiction and deep insights into international research in the 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.

You can study from anywhere in the world as you:

• cover the essential areas of addiction science in three core courses
• work through forward-thinking lectures, readings and modules
• access multiple libraries and resources
• develop international networks.

We accept applications until 1 July and classes commence in August of each academic year. For more information, including admissions criteria, application forms, curriculum outline and tuition fees, visit:

This certificate 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.
