BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture

Our BSc in Acupuncture is a complete three-year practitioner training from scratch, leading to a University degree. The course is designed to give you plenty of structure and guidance early on, and you will grow in confidence and ability throughout your three years of study. You will learn a wide range of approaches to acupuncture, mainly focussed on traditional Chinese medicine and its treasure chest of diverse methods of whole-person diagnosis and treatment. A BSc in Acupuncture demonstrates to your patients that your training has been at University degree level, which increases their confidence in you.

Established in 1988 the Northern College of Acupuncture is an independent teaching College as well as a registered educational charity. Since the early days, the College has gone from strength to strength, and we now educate acupuncturists, practitioners of Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition practitioners and complementary therapists. Our thriving and well-respected teaching clinic offers acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and nutritional advice to the local community.

We are proud to be pioneers in our industry! We were the first teaching institution of any kind in the UK to offer a University degree in acupuncture, the first to provide a University degree in Chinese herbal medicine, and the first to achieve professional accreditation for our acupuncture courses, Chinese herbal medicine and nutritional therapy courses.
