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, which has been validated as a BSc honours degree by Kingston University. The course brings together the strengths of Five Element and TCM theory in a style known as integration, pioneered by co-founders Angela and John Hicks. We now also offer a one-year postgraduate diploma in tui na. Tui na is a traditional Chinese massage technique which students can practice either alongside their acupuncture practice or as a separate treatment. 
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 College organises clinical study visits to well established hospitals in China for practitioners of acupuncture or Chinese herbal medicine. These trips provide graduates with a valuable opportunity to find out more about the way Chinese medicine is currently practised in its country of origin. More…
