Our Acupuncture course has been fully accredited by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board from 1998 up to and including 2009. Graduates are therefore eligible for automatic membership of the BAcC, upon which they are entitled to use the designatory letters MBAcC after their name.

Our course is also validated as a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree by the University of Portsmouth so in addition to receiving a Licentiate Diploma our graduates are also awarded a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture.
