Master of Health Science (Acupuncture)

Why study the Master of Health Science (Acupuncture)?

The Master of Health Science (Acupuncture) is a dynamic, postgraduate course designed for acupuncturists and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners wishing to strengthen their knowledge of acupuncture and better integrate in the health care system. You will have an opportunity to develop an evidence-based approach to practice and may choose to specialise in a nominated clinical field. The integration of acupuncture with orthodox medical management and/or diagnostics is incorporated into many units. The course will be delivered via structured, intensive workshops with self-directed learning between workshops to allow maximum flexibility for busy practitioners.

An early exit route of an eighteen month part-time Graduate Diploma in Health Science (Acupuncture) or a one year part-time Graduate Certificate in Health Science (Acupuncture) will also be available.

Part time-study is only available to local students and is generally completed by day classes as there are limited night classes.

Career Opportunities

Master of Health Science (Acupuncture) graduates can practise as an acupuncturist in their own business or as part of traditional Chinese or orthodox medical services.

Acupuncture is used by over a quarter of the world’s population and, as a Traditional Chinese Medicine, is part of the largest form of complementary medicine in Australia. This growing industry is increasing career opportunities locally and overseas for progressive UWS graduates.
