Studying Chiropractic in New Zealand

Page 6

A world-class academic programme The College attracts students from all over the world who are looking for a balanced academic and practical programme in an innovative and supportive learning environment. Our curriculum is informed by the same vitalistic understanding that chiropractic has of the body's ability to self-regulate, self-organise and self-heal.

Gearing up Before studying at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, students may complete approved foundation study in basic health science courses at university level. Everything students are taught at the College builds on this foundational knowledge. See page 11 for recommended foundation programmes.

Your Programme Journey 6

Getting started On completion of the foundation studies, the next two years at the College focus on gaining an understanding of the philosophy of chiropractic and chiropractic communication alongside the practical skills required to become an excellent adjuster. The curriculum covers a wide range of well-established chiropractic techniques and the coursework expands on prerequisite scientific understanding of how the body works and what happens if it doesn’t.

Finishing strong The final two years are focussed on professional practice. Students learn the ins and outs of running a chiropractic business, they build their own client base and transform the lives of local communities. It’s during this time that students put the philosophy, art and science of chiropractic into practice.
