Bachelor of Health Sciences Homoeopathy (ECP) at Durban University of Technology

Programme overview

The extended curriculum version of the Bachelor of Health Sciences in Homoeopathy (qualification code BHHMF2) on the Ritson Campus is designed for students who may be at risk of not succeeding in the mainstream programme. It follows the same homoeopathic and medical grounding as the mainstream degree over a longer period. Registration as a practising homoeopath requires the Master of Health Sciences in Homoeopathy.

Faculty: Faculty of Health Sciences | Department: Department of Homoeopathy | Duration: 5 years (extended curriculum, per programme page) | Study mode: full-time | Location: Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

What you will study

The extended curriculum spreads the homoeopathy degree over a longer period with the same focus on traditional medical subjects, diagnostic skills, and homoeopathic, herbal and naturopathic principles. Mainstream first-year modules include Gross Anatomy, Physiology, Biological Principles, Chemistry, Physics, Histology and Materia Medica I.

Career pathways

Graduates find employment mainly as private practitioners, and to a lesser extent in the industrial sector and in limited public-sector opportunities within multidisciplinary and hospital-related environments.
