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.
