Are you currently studying towards a qualification in the subject of addiction? Become an associate of the SSA to receive most of the benefits of membership but at a reduced rate.
As an alternative to membership, students may join the SSA as associates, for a reduced fee. This is available to students who are taking or are about to undertake a UK-based university course in which the focus of study is in the addiction field. Overseas students enrolled on an addiction course at a university which subscribes to one or both of the Society’s journals are also eligible. This status offers most of the benefits of membership, without the right to become a trustee or vote on SSA business.
To apply for associateship, please complete and submit the following form. We will write to confirm your application has been formally accepted (usually within a few days). You must include a scan or screenshot of a confirmation letter from your university, which:
- is dated in the current academic year
- refers to the course being in the current or coming academic year
- clearly states that the course has an addiction focus
Please note:
- Acceptance as an associate of the Society for the Study of Addiction is not a professional endorsement or validation, and we do not give permission to cite SSA associateship on personal profiles for this purpose.
- Associateship status must be renewed annually. Applications made and accepted now will expire on 31 December 2024.
