On course for a career in complementary therapies

03/09/2009

Places are available on the BSc Honours in Complementary Therapies at the University's School of Health and Wellbeing

Students can develop expertise in aromatherapy or reflexology, both of which have professional accreditation.

Senior Lecturer Lucy Pursehouse said: “While the School has recruited very successfully, we do still have some places available on our Complementary Therapies course and would urge people to get in touch to find out more.

“The course enables people to gain both a qualification and a career. There’s a huge movement in the UK towards integrating complementary therapies into orthodox healthcare.

“There are interesting opportunities for graduates in a variety of healthcare professions, which include maternity wards, hospices and pain clinics

“Our graduates have gone on to successful and varied careers, from setting up their own businesses to securing roles at health spas and working in palliative care.”

The University has also helped students on the course to gain hands-on experience, running a clinic for staff to access treatments.
