University West of Scotland Contemporary Drug & Alcohol Studies

UWS’s Postgraduate Programme in Contemporary Drug & Alcohol Studies (CDAS) is a fantastic course for people looking to study, work and research in this area, and for practitioners looking to develop their practice. The course is grounded in the UK and global in outlook. Students are supported to:

- examine social, cultural, and political influences on drug/alcohol use and policies,

- explore the evidence for responses that reduce harms and support recovery,

- undertake a work-based placement to apply learning into practice.

We offer a range of study options and a supportive student-centred learning environment. For more information email Programme Lead April.Shaw@uws.ac.uk or click on this link

If you’re interested and want to hear more, please join our Online Open Evening on Wednesday May 21st at 7pm.
