Anyone can apply to the online learning program in relationship to any form of natural or cultural health research or practice.

The Bachelor distance education program helps you to mirror yourself and your assumptions based on opposing different cultures with each other. In doing so you gather information about different method of science. The minimum amount of different cultures used is 2. The maximum is depending on your input. Your informational input in the BA program should be 25%.

The A-level Master program is geared towards applying science, commerce and writing skills in Natural medicine. Part of your master program is finding an apprenticeship in a natural health clinic or school that relates to your subject of study. There you collect information and make a thorough analysis about the institute, a comparison with similar institutes and writing or editing materials for the institute.

The A-level PhD is based on doing in-depth speculative research and doing basic science.

Intercultural Open University

For Certifications we partner up with The Intercultural Foundation University. The Intercultural Open University is similar like the Oriental College a grassroots organization born out of idealism. It was founded originally as part of the United Nations education plan and thus the predecessor of the current UN University. It's main point is to make University education available to the ones willing and able to learn suitable to local economic circumstances. Citing its founder proff. J. Hakemulder:

"Our work started in 1980 with one of the agencies, namely Educational & Cultural Task Forces (Ecutaf) . After 10 years of experience with development work in Africa for United Nations (UNESCO, UNICEF and the UN Economic Commission of Africa) it became more and more clear to me that part of some failures could be traced back to the idea that educational and other strategies easily could be transferred to the so called developing countries. Thus, it was decided to establish an organization aiming at educational development based on the cultural background of the particular countries. Consequently, local specialists had to be involved. In most cases cultural anthropologists were requested to give their vision during preparation and execution of projects. The terminology 'task forces' was chosen because we wanted to point at the fact that Ecutaf aims at reacting efficiently, effectively and without the time consuming bureaucracy of most organizations receiving special requests from schools, universities, educational decision makers and governments. With around 80 specialists in their field of expertise, I am proud to say that Ecutaf was the first private foundation in the world with this philosophy."

The IOU program currently contains many subject areas any university might give. But the highly personalized programs give you as student the ability to shape your study the way you need it. What we do is mentoring you into the highest academic achievement possible. Together with you we shape assignments and guide you to mentors suitable to your field of study. any other study you do might become incorporated in your final papers. Interestingly enough papers can often be delivered in local language, but should minimally contain a 15 pages English excerpt for international proofreading.
Why we incorporate IOU in our program is because the IOU distance education program allows any professional and student of Asian native medicines, sports, psychology, religion, culture, science and even esoteric to get high academic degrees and therewith fully participate in the Academic circles. Our profession needs to contribute to as well as to acquire full academic, political and social recognition.

The United Nations University Charter states:

"to contribute, through research and capacity building, the efforts to resolve the pressing global problems that are the concern of the United Nations, Its peoples and Member States".
