MSc/PGDip in Medicina Cinese a Base di Erbe

Our Chinese herbal medicine course is designed to make the study of Chinese herbal medicine truly interesting and engaging. It is an integrated course where, from the outset, you will learn critical herbs, simple formulae containing them, and the patterns they address. By studying the herbs, recipes and conditions together, you learn to “speak the language” and make clinical sense right from the start. The course also integrates the study of plant science and herbal research into your study of herbs and formulae, giving these subjects a clear clinical relevance. Online classes are interleaved with work on real case studies, and discussions on various aspects of herbal medicine. This infuses the theory with real-life clinical application, illustrating the practical use of herbs and the integration of herbal treatment with acupuncture practice.

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.
