The course is made up of six components.
1 Philosophy
The course provides students with an extensive understanding of the theories required to practise homeopathy effectively and successfully.
2 Materia Medica
Materia Medica is the study of the remedies used by the homeopathic practitioner. Remedies are made mainly from plants, minerals and metals. Currently there are over 2,500 remedies in use, which have been developed over the last two centuries.
3 Medical Sciences
Although homeopaths practise a different form of medicine, it is still important to understand how conventional medicine
and the body works. We therefore study anatomy and physiology, as well as disease and pathology, throughout the course.
4 Clinical Education
Clinical education runs throughout the course. In the first year, students are introduced to the techniques used in case
taking. These include the Repertory (a book of symptoms relating to diseases) and the Materia Medica. Attendance at the College’s clinics starts in the second year. Initially, students observe consultations with patients and participate in discussions and full analysis of the case. As students gain experience, they will begin to take cases themselves, under
supervision.
5 Supervised Case Programme
Students are required to take a minimum of ten cases. These and all other cases taken during the four years are fully
supervised.
6 Other subjects
Each year, we incorporate subjects that are useful in a homeopathic practice. These can include nutrition, flower remedies, kinesiology and others.
