Bachelor of Health Science (Chinese Medicine)

The Bachelor of Health Science (Chinese Medicine) at Endeavour College of Natural Health covers both the theoretical and clinical aspects of Chinese medicine within the Australian healthcare framework. Over four years of full-time study, students learn about Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, Chinese dietary therapy, and the foundations of Western biomedical sciences. The course structure includes a series of units totalling the necessary credit points for a bachelor's qualification, with foundational sciences in earlier years and more specialised Chinese medicine subjects in later semesters.

Clinical practice is a strong focus, with supervised placements in the College's own clinics and through external partnerships. This provides experience in applying diagnostic techniques and treatment plans for patients under the guidance of qualified practitioners. The course encourages a practical approach, preparing students for real-world scenarios through work-integrated learning experiences that mirror professional practice in Australia.

Every student completes a capstone project in their final year, requiring them to integrate evidence-based research skills and clinical decision-making. Communication skills, ethical practice, and cultural understanding are developed throughout the degree. Those interested in working directly with clients, or in public health roles that include complementary therapies, will find this course particularly suitable.
