Bachelor Degree
A Bachelor program is a high level study which provides basic skills and knowledge in Chinese medicine and martial arts on both the practical and theoretical level. Its main topic is to teach the principles of health according to Chinese culture, but also why it is so different from western conceptualizations of education, self-management, body, health and disease.
Master Degree
The cooperation with Chinese teachers and Chinese universities will give you knowledge and expertise not to be found anywhere else. The extensive cultural background will give you also the chance to apply ancient Chinese wisdom in combination with modern scientific insights of this day and age.
