Course Structure

Homeopathy consists of a body of theoretical knowledge upon which to build the skills for use in practice. The course is structured in such a way as to begin with the foundation blocks of Materia Medica, Philosophy, Repertory and simple acute case examples. As the year courses progress, this basic knowledge is expanded and covered in more depth, with the practical application of the theoretical knowledge being studied. From the latter half of the second year through the third and fourth years, students undertake clinical training as well as the on-going study of materia medica, homeopathic philosophy, chronic case and case management, and anatomy, physiology, and pathology.

The course consists of lecture/in-class time, home-study, assignments and practical clinical training.

Attendance at college weekends comprises 580 hours of tutor contact time over the duration of the course, of which Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology comprises 120 tutor contact hours.

Self-directed home study including assignments/ assessments comprises an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 hours, of which Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology comprises 1,000 to 2,000 hours.

Clinical tutoring requirement is approximately 100 hours. Clinical observation hours begin in year two. Clinical hours are outside of college weekends. The majority of clinical training is provided at the College Clinic. Details of the clinical training policy are available upon enrolment.
