ICOM has worked in partnership with universities since 2001, when our four year degree programme was first validated by the University of Brighton in 2001. In March 2007 further validation was awarded for the maximum five year period.

We are now in collaboration with the University of Greenwich who, in November 2008, validated our three year BSc Honours Acupuncture degree programme.

Students of ICOM are also affiliated students of the University of Greenwich. The range of services and facilities provided include access to information services such as the online library, student support, and short summer courses.

We enjoy, and benefit from, strong working relationships with both university partners and believe that the developmental and constructive framework of working with such valuable institutions of higher education continues to enhance and inform our college's standards.
