Study with us
NICM Health Research Institute (NICM HRI) is involved in an expanding program of postgraduate studies offered by supervised research, and our students create a vibrant core of activity in the institute.
Master of Chinese Medicine
The Master of Chinese Medicine is a postgraduate qualification designed for Chinese medicine practitioners wishing to strengthen their knowledge and better integrate into the health care system, and for graduates with a Chinese Medicine specialisation seeking a pathway to research. It can be completed in one-and-a-half years of full-time study or the equivalent in part-time study.
The course includes two major streams: a clinical stream and research-training pathway.
- The clinical stream features a substantial clinical placement in a teaching hospital in China affiliated with Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BUCM) in addition to clinical specialisation workshops.
- The research stream includes a significant research project which is supported by NICM HRI.
