The Master of Chinese Medicine is designed for Chinese medicine practitioners wishing to strengthen their knowledge and better integrate into the health care system. It is 1.5-year course, with two major streams: a clinical stream and a research-training pathway, which caters for graduates with a Chinese Medicine specialisation seeking either to upgrade clinical skills or a pathway to research. The clinical stream features a substantial clinical placement in a teaching hospital in China affiliated with the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BJUCM) in addition to clinical specialisation workshops. Graduates shall be granted a postgraduate diploma '研究生毕业证书' by BJUCM if they successfully complete the 4 week clinical placement and meet BUCM clinical practice standards. The research stream includes a significant research project which is supported by the National Institute of Complementary Medicine (NICM).

Chinese medicine is used by over a quarter of the world's population and is the largest form of complementary medicine in Australia. This growing industry increases career opportunities locally and overseas for progressive graduates. Interdisciplinary teamwork is a feature of training at the University and these skills are carried into future careers. More increased opportunities working in research institutes.
