Bachelor of Health Science (Complementary Medicine)

Admission requirements

The minimum entry requirement for the course is completion of a one year (30-week) full-time Diploma or Advanced Diploma with at least 200 hours of clinical experience.

Students entering the course will be required to possess an approved and government accredited qualification at the diploma level (or equivalent) in complementary medicine in the following therapeutic modalities:

• acupuncture

• aromatherapy / aromatic medicine

• herbal medicine

• homoeopathy

• kinesiology

• naturopathy

• nutritional science

• oriental therapies

• remedial massage

Qualifications in sport and fitness training do not meet the entry requirement as they are not complementary medicine modalities. 

English language proficiency

The University has minimum requirements for English language proficiency prior to entry to our courses. Some courses also have a requirement for a higher entry or exit level of English proficiency. More information on English language requirements.

Attainment and experience

You may also be admitted to a course based on other attainments and experience. These may include:

• participation in continuing education programs and/or staff development programs conducted by adult education agencies, consultancies, professional bodies or employers;

Internet access

CSU places great emphasis on services to its students. It is a leader in the provision of online services and, in particular, the use of the internet in the support of teaching, administration and communications with students.

The online environment is so integrated into all aspects of student life and the learning experience at CSU that the University now assumes that all on campus and distance education students at CSU will have ongoing access to an internet connected computer capable of communicating with CSU online systems.

Students enrolled in Information Technology subjects (i.e. with an ITC subject code) may be required to have additional hardware and/or software that is deemed essential for the completion of the learning activities in that subject.
