The International Programme in Addiction Studies (IPAS) is a unique online programme leading to a degree of Master of Science in Addiction Studies.  Jointly offered by the University of Adelaide, King’s College London, and Virginia Commonwealth University, the programme is available to students from all countries, although course materials are in English only.  Full-time (12-month) and part-time (24-month) programme options are available.  Partial scholarship are now offered through the International Scholars in Addiction Studies (ISAS) program.    

IPAS aims  to develop professionals from a variety of backgrounds who are fully prepared to assume leadership roles in the addictions field.  Students will study the scientific basis of addiction, public health, evidence-based interventions, research methodology and addictions policy. Lectures are offered by leading authorities in each of these subject areas.

Upon completion of the degree, students receive a diploma conferred by all three universities.
