BSc in Substance Misuse Management

Course Overview

CHSS offers a range of training modules for Drug and Alcohol Practitioners through its Addictive Behaviours Group, leading to a BSc in Substance misuse Management.

Our university accredited, modular programmes incorporate the "Models of Care" framework, DANOS competencies and QuADS benchmarks. Being taught in five-day blocks, they are accessible to students living in or outside Kent, are ideal for those new to or returning to study. All programmes aim at a wide range of professionals in healthcare, counselling, criminal justice, the community and social care etc. who access clients with substance use related problems.

These programmes are unique in being able to attract students from all over the UK and Eire. Teaching is organised into 'blocks', normally one week of five days long, so that students can stay in Canterbury for the duration of each module. Students attend a maximum of three taught modules each year. The Certificate programmes are offered in Canterbury on this basis but also can be delivered locally across the UK for any organisation where there is a cohort of ten or more students
