About the course

The Community and Addiction Studies course offers participants the skills and competencies to work in the voluntary sector, as well as with State or NGO providers of community and social inclusion services. Graduates of this course pursue careers in community initiatives with a focus on inclusive practice, empowerment and collaboration. Graduate employment opportunities are wide ranging, to include national, regional or local projects which are addressing addiction, homelessness, unemployment, cultural development and community sports initiatives. The course is grounded in the principles of empowerment, human rights, inclusion and social justice. Graduates of this course will be furnished with the requisite knowledge and skills to work in and meaningfully engage communities affected by addiction, to support voluntary activity and to progress community projects.

　　There is a very substantial practical and applied component to this course, so students will develop the real skills and competencies required for the workplace. A practical placement in years two and three are a key element of the course, which will allow students apply their learning in a real-life environment.
