Deciding to study acupuncture is life changing. An exciting, challenging and rewarding experience lies ahead.
A new and fascinating world of knowledge opens up before you inspiring you towards further personal growth and development. This culminates in you using your knowledge and compassion to assist in the healing of others. If this resonates with you, ICOM and our BSc Hons course in acupuncture could be what you are looking for.
As a profession, acupuncture enables you to earn a living doing what you love to do. The public and medical professions’ interest in acupuncture has grown considerably throughout the last decade with opportunities now open to work both privately and within the NHS. The British Acupuncture Council is in the process of gaining Chartered Status for its members, a sign of the respect in which the profession is now held.
All of our staff and students share passion, enthusiasm and love for this fascinating art and science, and we hope that you come and visit us to experience this special collective energy.
Ultimately we hope that should you decide to embark on this wonderful journey, you decide to share it with us at ICOM.

I often reflect on the type of student who decides to study acupuncture. Like patients, each applicant comes to ICOM with his or her own special story; yet within that story always sits the seed of wanting to help people, a desire to heal, to nurture and to understand.
It seems to me that the best acupuncture practitioners are not always those who excel academically but simply those who, at a very fundamental level, want to connect with people and to help them. Could that be you?
Our job at ICOM is clear – to provide an outstanding learning environment and curriculum – delivered by experienced acupuncture practitioners and dedicated qualified lecturers – to enable you to succeed on your journey. We have an exciting, fully integrated, curriculum which will engage, amaze, inspire you and indeed challenge you.
Our team are passionate about students’ learning and will do their best to support you through your time with us, and beyond. All acupuncture training colleges have their own flavour and individuality.
We warmly invite you to come and see ours at one our Open Days, visit ICOM acupuncture college and clinic, meet staff and students, observe a patient treatment and take a look around – you’ll get a real feel of how ICOM works. We look forward to meeting you.
