Bachelor of Health Sciences Homoeopathy at Durban University of Technology

Programme overview

The Bachelor of Health Sciences in Homoeopathy on the Ritson Campus gives a grounding in traditional medical subjects with an emphasis on diagnostic skills, alongside the principles of homoeopathic, herbal and naturopathic practice. Practising as a registered homoeopath with the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa requires the Master of Health Sciences in Homoeopathy after the BHSc. The BHSc alone allows graduates to find employment in industry or the public sector.

Faculty: Faculty of Health Sciences | Department: Department of Homoeopathy | Duration: 4 years (3 years of study plus 1 year of internship) | Study mode: full-time | Location: Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
