Over the last few years the demand for Chinese herbal medicine in the UK has grown considerably. The herbal profession in the UK is about to be regulated which will further reinforce this positive growth and development. Now is an excellent time to study this fascinating subject and take part in the emergence of the newly-regulated profession. We have been offering training in patent herbal remedies and Chinese herbs since 1994. Building on this valuable experience we have now devised a new learning structure (subject to validation) providing students with a comprehensive and flexible study package to suit a variety of circumstances.

The Postgraduate Certificate is the first of a set of three available courses which can be taken individually or in combination, leading to an MSc.
