The South East Technological University is to provide higher education courses for those using Tiglin's addiction treatment centres in Wicklow and Kildare.
The programme will run for three years from 2023 after the university secured a grant worth over €800,000 to deliver the courses.
Higher Education Minister Wicklow TD Simon Harris says the grant will provide a wide range of choice in subjects.
Head of Faculty at SETU Joe Collins says the courses on offer will provide new opportunities to service users.
