Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy)

Naturopathy is all about finding the innate point of balance within each individual. Naturopaths trust in your body’s inherent wisdom to heal itself and acknowledge that all bodies are truly unique. They look beyond symptoms to identify and treat underlying causes of illness by considering you as a whole person – mind, body and spirit and treat each client using a variety of carefully selected natural health techniques.

Students experience a holistic learning environment, broadening their studies across biological sciences in order to understand the human body and its functions. Importance is also placed on social sciences including psychology and counselling, nutrition and dietary planning, botany and herbal medicine studies, diagnostic techniques and clinical skills and extensive clinical practice in Endeavour's Wellness Clinics.

It takes four years of full-time study to become a naturopath in Australia.

Undertaking higher education requires a high level of commitment and definitely comes with its own challenges along the way. However, we are here to support you in your learning journey! You can book individual consultations with academics to help you with course work and librarians to find the right resources and get the results you want out of your degree. You’ll also have a student success adviser you can reach out to as well as Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) to support you as you study.

Instead of committing to at least four years of study, ease into your study journey with our one-year full-time (two-year part-time) online Diploma of Health Science – the perfect stepping stone into a Bachelor degree. Gain essential foundational knowledge of biological and social sciences and be exposed to an array of complementary medicine electives. On completion, you’ll receive 10 credits points towards Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) should you choose to continue your studies.

You can start your natural health journey by enrolling in a 100% online, Diploma of Health Science or Undergraduate Certificate. Start as soon as next month! Plus, you’ll receive credits into a Bachelor degree on successful completion of your course.

Select subjects can be completed online, fully supported by academic and support staff. As you move further into your degree and into clinical experience there will be an on-campus requirement. However, even if you are studying online our campus remains open to all and we encourage you to come in and use the purpose-built student spaces or socialise with fellow students at a workshop or two.
