Complementary therapies are used to support the treatment of more than 12 million adults in the UK each year. The potential economic benefits of complementary therapies are also attracting large pharmaceutical companies such as GlaxoSmithKline. The 2015 Nobel Prize was awarded to Professor You You Tu who found the active compound from a Chinese herbal medicine Artemisia to treat malaria. Our degree, taught by leading practitioners in the field, offers some of the best training facilities in the UK.
Middlesex is a global pioneer in Chinese medicine research and teaching. The first ever university outside China to launch a traditional Chinese medicine degree, we have developed a course that is rated top for student satisfaction across the whole of London.
Chinese Medicine can be a difficult subject to study because its treatments are often complex and are based on ideas that differ to those of modern Western medicine.
However our highly qualified team of specialists and dedicated staff, who have experience of working around the globe, will support you with their rich knowledge and broad skillset.
A unique training programme in the UK, the course is aimed at existing practitioners and acupuncture or Traditional Chinese Medicine graduates, who understand the importance of continuous professional development and specialisation in their practice. We are currently developing an exciting new medicinal herb garden, which will be a fantastic vehicle for interactive learning. Containing more than 200 species of medicinal plants, the facility will amount to a living reference library.
