Programme Information

For forty years the College has ensured its graduates are trained in naturopathic (as well as osteopathic) principles and their application to practice. In 1998 its previous undergraduate programme was validated by the General Council and Register of Naturopaths (GCRN) and its practitioners accepted into membership.

Since then the College has modularised the undergraduate programme and is now able to offer naturopathic training to those outside of its osteopathic student body wishing to gain a Naturopathic Diploma (ND) by undergraduate study. In 2007 GCRN validation was confirmed in respect of this programme.

This diploma is open to a wide variety of students, from differing backgrounds, and is tailored to each student's needs. Students with no healthcare background will need to follow the programme in full, and students with a particular background in health studies, with or without some degree of clinical experience, will follow a shorter programme. You will be designated the appropriate pathway during the application process.
