Introducing the College
Created in 1993, this College rapidly became one of the largest of its kind in the UK. Initially our reputation was founded on the quality and unique nature of our acupuncture course. It brings together the strengths of Five Element and TCM theory in a style known as integration, pioneered by co-founders Angela and John Hicks. Soon after we added Chinese herbal medicine to the training we offer, now an MSc CHM course. More recently we have also introduced an innovative and flexible MSc CM(PS), allowing Chinese medicine practitioners to acquire a higher degree alongside their professional practice. We also offer a one-year diploma in tui na.
We occupy two adjoining grade 2 listed Georgian buildings in the centre of Reading, UK, 25 minutes west of London Paddington by train, with good transport links to the rest of the UK and overseas. We are proud of the quality of our teaching staff and emphasis on staff training. They are all engaged in regular clinical practice. Our students speak of the enjoyable, satisfying time they have studying here. They are inspired to use their skills as capable, reflective, committed practitioners to help patients enjoy better health.
‘The minute I walked in I knew this was the place I wanted to study. The light, the space, the facilities, the atmosphere, feeling warm, being greeted... really nice’ student quote.
