Key Summary

    About: The BSc (Hons) Chinese Medicine program offers students a comprehensive understanding of traditional Chinese medical principles. It covers topics like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other therapeutic practices. Students engage in both theoretical learning and practical training, preparing them for clinical practice.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue various careers in healthcare, including roles as practitioners in acupuncture or herbal medicine. They may also work in complementary health settings, wellness centers, or even in research and education.

Chinese medicine is over thousands of years old. However, enrolling for Chinese Medicine is not about learning the history and traditions of an ancient civilization but rather, gaining an understanding of Chinese philosophy and how these have been adapted into the healing arts in ways that are still relevant today.

Today, there is a revival in the acceptance of Chinese Medicine even in western nations. Indeed, certain Chinese Medicine practices like acupuncture and herbal remedies are integrated with western medicine for pain management and to reduce the side effects of prescription drugs.

IMU’s Chinese Medicine programme comprises both western and Chinese Medicine subjects. It is an outcome-based approach, whereby students develop clinical skills during their junior years, with early clinical attachment to prepare them for a successful career. As the programme is fully conducted in English, our students get to pursue career opportunities not only in Malaysia but on a broader, global scale.
