Introduction
This prospectus contains details of modules and programmes of study (accredited by University of Leeds) as well as short courses run by Leeds Addiction Unit.
The Leeds Addiction Unit Training and Research Department specialises in the training of professionals to manage problems of substance misuse in a variety of settings and research into the evaluation of treatment.
Established in 1984,our teaching unit provides modules and programmes of study validated by the University of Leeds, as well as a variety of short courses tailored to the needs of different professional groups and occupational settings. Staff who provide clinical teaching all carry an addiction caseload. The clinical unit provides opportunities for clinical learning and practice.
Courses
University of Leeds accredited programmes of study
Leeds Addiction Unit offers two University of Leeds awards (with the BSc having early exit options, see page 10):
Graduate Diploma in Addiction Studies – GDAS
Bachelor of Science in Addiction Studies – BSc(Hons)In addition, modules are available for study on an individual basis. Students who complete a module are awarded the credits for that module.
All our practice-based modules may be undertaken assessed (under the auspices of University of Leeds) or non-assessed. Students electing to study modules without assessment receive a certificate of attendance.
Learning and teaching formats
Modules are either by distance learning or face-to face teaching.
Distance learning modules
Distance learning modules run for 18 weeks. Students are supplied with a study manual and selected readings. Tutors are available weekly for telephone support, and can also be contacted by email.
We currently offer three distance learning modules; Prevention Issues [LAUT 1003 ~ p.15], Research Methods [LAUT 2015 ~ p.20] and the Library Based Project [LAUT 3012 ~ p.25].
Please note: all students completing the Research Methods module [LAUT 2015] will be required to attend the Leeds Addiction Unit to give a presentation.
Face to face taught modules
These modules run over 12-15 weeks. They involve lectures/small group seminars, video-recorded supervised practice and private study time. Each module comprises a combination of teaching at Leeds Addiction Unit 8 days per module (4 x 2 day
teaching blocks) and supervised practice in a practice placement (16 days per module).
Study requirements
As a rough guide to the amount of study time required to complete accredited
modules, the University of Leeds recommend approximately ten hours per credit. This time will include taught sessions (where applicable), tutorials, private study and essay preparation and writing.
Students
Students at Leeds Addiction Unit come from a diverse range of backgrounds and are practitioners in the addiction field. Students work in a variety of settings: the health service, criminal justice settings, and the non-statutory sector.
Staff
Each module or course has a member of staff responsible for the organisation, teaching and assessment of that module. A full list of module leaders and their contact details is given at the end of this booklet.
Availability
The provision of programmes and modules is subject to the enrolment of sufficient numbers of students and the maintenance of satisfactory conditions for the running of the programme or module. We reserve the right to replace the advertised tutors or change programmes and/or modules where it is found to be unavoidable or to make other changes that may be deemed necessary due to unforeseen circumstances.
