MSc Abstracts

Contents

There follows a selection of abstracts from successful MSc dissertations written by students on our acupuncture course. They cover a wide range of topics and methodologies and make fascinating reading.

The Northern College of Acupuncture is extremely proud of the contributions made by our students to research in our field. We think it is vital that practitioners themselves engage in a wide spectrum of enquiry into acupuncture. In this way research is conducted within the context of our medical tradition, and research remains closely allied to practice.

Full copies of all MSc dissertations are held in our library and can be viewed for reference purposes by arrangement with Lara McClure, who manages the library. Copies of MSc dissertations which have been awarded distinctions are also held in the library of the University of Wales.
