Thinking about becoming an acupuncturist
The original person-centred medicine
For many, training in acupuncture is not just a career choice, but a journey towards a deeper sense of purpose, meaning, and professional identity.
You’ll be joining a tradition that has its roots in a medicine that’s been practised for over two thousand years but is as modern and necessary today as it's ever been.
Whichever path you choose, studying on a BAAB-accredited course means grounding your learning in classical texts, while also developing a strong understanding of Western medicine, combining theory and practice throughout your course.

Each programme accredited by BAAB meets the same rigorous standards, ensuring quality and consistency across every programme. At the same time, colleges have the freedom to develop their own course content and structure, enabling them to reflect their expertise, local context, and learner needs.
