COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Chinese Medicine program is structured as a 160-credit-point degree designed to provide advanced clinical knowledge, research capability, and professional practice skills in traditional Chinese medicine. The program is divided into three main components: core subjects, alternate subjects, and a major specialization. The core component consists of 70 credit points and focuses on strengthening essential knowledge in Chinese medicine theory, clinical practice, diagnosis, treatment principles, and evidence-based healthcare approaches. These core units ensure that students develop a strong foundation in both traditional practices and modern integrative health systems. The alternate subjects component carries 10 credit points and provides flexibility for students to broaden their understanding or explore complementary areas relevant to healthcare, research, or professional development. The largest component is the major, worth 80 credit points, which allows students to deepen their expertise in Chinese medicine through advanced clinical training, research-focused study, and applied learning experiences. This major component is essential in developing high-level professional competence and preparing students for autonomous clinical practice or academic pathways. Overall, the structure is designed to produce highly skilled practitioners who are capable of working effectively in clinical environments, contributing to research, and supporting the integration of Chinese medicine within broader healthcare systems at both national and international levels.
