"I have always had contact with groups working in the world of social exclusion (prisons, mental illness, the homeless) through work and as a volunteer. Drug use and addiction are always present in these situations. And that is one of the reasons why I chose this Master's.

The Master’s programme gives you a broad view of the world of drug dependencies and addictions from different perspectives, which means a variety of disciplines round off the background you get in the Master's.
