Our multi-disciplinary approach will give you a rounded, holistic understanding of the complexities of addiction within a mental health context. On this Addiction and Mental Health MSc you’ll develop a broad scientific knowledge base, learning how to critically approach addictive behaviours, mental health conditions and understand how the two interact. At the core of this course are theoretical models and critical approaches around addictive behaviours and mental health conditions.
