Acupuncture is a vocation to be passionate about! Students come to study on our BSc and MSc in acupuncture courses from all walks of life. Although their backgrounds, ages, and experience differ greatly, they are all people who want to earn a living in a way that engages them as a whole person and is true to their own values.
From 2012 students on our BSc in acupuncture courses, who do not already have a degree, will be able to access student loans. Our weekend BSc is classed as part time and you will be eligible for an annual tuition fee loan (of up to £4,500). Our weekday BSc is classed as full time and you will be eligible for an annual tuition fee loan (of up to £6,000), annual means tested maintenance loans (of up to £4,375) and a maintenance grant (of up to £3,250).
To help you to become an acupuncturist, our "hands on" approach is crucial. You are in clinic from the start of our acupuncture courses. You learn a range of approaches, developing your own style, and our highly integrated approach creates skilled and confident acupuncturists.
You can fit our acupuncture courses around work and family commitments by choosing to study at weekends (14 weekends a year) or on weekdays during term time. The College is situated in the heart of historic York with excellent transport links.
We are partnered with Middlesex University and accredited by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board, so you can apply to join the British Acupuncture Council as soon as you qualify.
As a specialist college dedicated to practitioner training you are not just a number at the NCA. We give you the best possible teaching, support and clinical experience because everyone is working towards a common goal – the day you take control of your own destiny, becoming an acupuncturist and having a vocation you can be passionate about!
