Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine (GUCM) has recently provided us with a more detailed programme for both the Masters and Doctoral Degrees in Chinese Medicine for the 2013-2014 academic year.

If you have already applied for a Prospectus Pack these updates will automatically be sent on to you within the next few weeks.

If you are waiting to receive the prospectus pack we will be adding the new information to the printed pack and to the website in the near future.

Our ground-breaking co-operation with GUCM has also had excellent press attention in the recent issue of “The Phoenix”, which includes an interview with the College Director Professor Tom Shanahan.

Two of our regular part time Courses in Qigong, taught by a Council Member of the World Academic Society of Medical Qigong (WASMQ) will be starting again within the next few months:

1.  A Certificate course in Qigong – for those are interested in learning more Qigong (as taught to us by our Qigong Masters in China) in order to benefit their own health and well-being.

2. A Certificate course in Medical Qigong – for those practitioners of Acupuncture TCM or Chinese Herbal Medicine wishing to add Medical Qigong to their therapeutic repertoire.

If you wish to be considered for either of these courses you must attend the Introductory weekend of Health Promoting Qigong (see previous news item).  The weekend is being held on 20th and 21st April 2013 at our college in Dublin.  Information packs about the Certificate programmes will be available on the day.

Further information about the benefits of Qigong practice and the type of exercises which are taught can be found under the Open Courses information.

The Prospectus Packs for the:-

Doctor of Chinese Medicine Degree
Master of Chinese Medicine Degree

have been slightly updated.

Previous enquirers will be informed of any important updates.

If you asked for a Prospectus Pack and have still not received one please send us your postal address again.
Unfortunately some of the packs which we sent out (particularly in December) seem to have been lost in the post.

We have revised packs available now and will send one out to you by return.

If you are one of the people who has been waiting for a pack we do apologise for the postal problem.
