2014 Postgraduate Degree Application Packs

Master of Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Doctor of Chinese Medicine
This is a two year, full time or part time program. It is run jointly between Guangzhou University of TCM and the ICTCM. The Degree “Master of Chinese Medicine”, or “Doctor of Chinese Medicine”, will be conferred by Guangzhou University of TCM and the Ministry of Education of China. According to the agreements in place between, for example, Ireland and China and the UK and China, this Masters degree qualification is fully recognised in Ireland and the UK and most other European countries.
The course is taught in English and is based mainly at the ICTCM, in Dublin Ireland. Students attend the University in Guangzhou for certain blocks of time during which they conduct scientific research into their chosen TCM specialism of either Medical Qigong, Acupuncture Moxibustion or Chinese Herbal Medicine.
Congratulations to 2014 Graduates of Chinese Herbal Medicine
Congratulations to recent graduates of the ICTCM for attaining the postgraduate Diploma in Chinese Herbal Medicine (Dip.CHM) after nearly three years of hard work!
The details of new (and old) practitioners of Chinese Herbal Medicine can be found in www.prtcm.org under Chinese Herbal Medicine Practitioners (Full members of the PRCHM).
Currently there are no Chinese Herbal Medicine (Raw herbs – Sheng Yao) courses scheduled for a start but those interested in Chinese Herbology are advised to contact the College. Note that to study at the postgraduate level you must already have a qualification in Chinese Medicine equivalent to the Lic.TCM from the ICTCM.
