Course programme
The Centre For Homeopathic Education operates as a four-year part-time course which entitles students to receive a BSc (Hons) Homeopathy.
The main portion of the teaching is held over 10 weekends per year, one weekend per month from September through to June.
The weekends runfrom 9.30am-5.30pm Saturday and Sunday.
These take place at Regents College in the beautiful setting of Regents Park in central London. The college provides spacious and comfortable teaching facilities all within easy reach of public transport.
Clinic attendance involves one full day a month. This begins in the second year and continues until the fourth year.
The course also includes supervision, home study time and tutorials.
Building the right basis for a good start.
The course begins with the Foundation year; this year gives the student a vital and solid base in homeopathic principles and philosophy.
It covers many homeopathic remedy pictures (materia medica) and allows the student to begin case taking and analysis, medical sciences and practitioner development.
The Foundation year is taught as a large student group, though in the following years the class is divided into two smaller groups.
This class division creates a much better learning atmosphere for students and allows for greater class dynamics and rapport. It also enables the college to offer a more personal learning style to the students.
