Program description
A Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) degree teaches you how to apply natural medicines to aid the body's healing process. You will master the fundamentals of health science, clinical evaluation, and herbal and nutritional medicine therapies in this naturopathy degree. The course teaches safe and effective prescribing using a patient-centered approach that incorporates biomedical science, research, and traditional wisdom.
As a naturopathic healthcare student, you will acquire hands-on experience at The Practice Wellbeing Centre, our custom-built student-led clinic, consulting with members of the public under the supervision of experienced naturopaths. This will prepare you to begin practising in the community with confidence. Please keep in mind that some coursework must be done in person in order to meet industry standards.
