The Experience

What to expect from being a student at the Irish College of Traditional Chinese Medicine

At the Irish College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ICTCM), we offer a truly distinctive and immersive journey into the ancient art of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

The first step to becoming a well qualified TCM practitioner is our undergraduate-level programme which has a special focus on Acupuncture Medicine. Our part-time, weekend-based Licentiate in TCM (Lic.TCM) is designed for dedicated individuals seeking a profound career change into this rewarding field.

The second step, if you wish to gain further qualifications and skills, is to progress to one of our postgraduate courses and enhance the TCM treatment options you can provide for your clients.

In this section you can:

  • explore the nature of the challenging and rewarding ICTCM student experience
  • understand the ethos of the College by reading the Director, Prof. Thomas Shanahan’s, Introduction to the ICTCM
  • find out about the types of people who have studied and trained with us during our more than 40 years as a College of Tradtional Chinese Medicine in Dublin
  • look at the Career prospects for graduates
  • hear from graduates about their transformative journey towards becoming skilled, confident and professional TCM practitioners.
