	NCA NEWS UPDATE ON 14th December 09 A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND JOYFUL NEW YEAR! NEW VALIDATION UNIVERSITY FOR ALL OUR COURSES In the summer we heard the outcome of the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) working party review on homeopathy, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. The key recommendation of the working party, which has been accepted by UCLan’s Academic Board, is that the University should phase out its involvement in undergraduate courses in these subjects and therefore will be phasing out its partnership with colleges who provide these courses, which includes the Northern College of Acupuncture. This means that we are now moving ahead with a new partner university to validate our Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine and Nutrition courses as of 2010. This process is now well underway we will keep you informed about how we are progressing. ACUPUNCTURE COURSES IN 2010 As mentioned we are forging a partnership with a new validating university to support our BSc and MSc in Acupuncture. We will be recruiting for a 2010 September intake as per normal. We are also aiming to give you the choice of studying at a weekend or on a weekday which has proved so popular this year and are confident that student loans (for up to approx £3,400) will be available to BSc students on the weekday course. Don’t forget that you will be studying at an independent college of excellence with one of the best trainings in acupuncture in the country. This is due to our dedicated staff and our "hands on approach" - you learn your practical skills in our teaching clinic right from the start.
