First year / Diploma course
In the first year diploma course you will be given a vital and solid base in homeopathic principles and philosophy. You will study some well-known homeopathic remedy pictures (materia medica) and begin case-taking and analysis, learn several of the medical sciences, as well as begin to focus on practitioner development. Homeopathic materia medica form a central core to the syllabus giving a holistic insight into the dis-ease process of the individual.
You will learn how to apply case-taking skills to both acute and chronic cases - beginning with the classical method as the basis for case analysis and prescribing. The medical sciences curriculum runs concurrently with the homeopathic syllabus allowing integration between these two complementary areas.
