The Bachelor of Health Sciences in Chiropractic is the first four years of DUT's five-year chiropractic route on the Ritson Campus (Mansfield School). The first three years give a grounding in traditional medical subjects with emphasis on diagnostic skills, and the later years focus on neuro-musculo-skeletal disorders, including taking and interpreting X-rays, CT scans, MRI and bone scans. Practising as a chiropractor requires the MHSc: Chiropractic and a year of internship under the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa.
Faculty: Faculty of Health Sciences | Department: Department of Chiropractic | Duration: 4 years (BHSc), followed by a 1-year Master of Health Sciences in Chiropractic | Study mode: full-time | Location: Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
First-year modules include Gross Anatomy IA/IB, Physiology IA/IB, Physics, Biological Sciences, Philosophy and History of Medicine, Chiropractic Principles and Practice I, Histology, Chemistry and Cornerstone. Teaching combines lectures and tutorials with laboratory and clinical work.
Most newly qualified chiropractors enter private practice on their own or in partnership with existing practitioners, after completing the MHSc: Chiropractic and the AHPCSA internship.
NSC degree entry with English (rating 4), Mathematics (4), Life Orientation (4), Life Science or Physical Science (4), and two further 20-credit subjects (not more than one language). Senior Certificate with matric exemption: English, Mathematics and Physical Science or Biology at HG D or SG B. NCV: English, Mathematics and Physical Science or Biology/Life Science at 70%.
