PostGraduate Certificate / PostGraduate Diploma / MSc Homeopathy

[bindeweede]

From the University of Central Lancashire.

This course is specifically designed to meet the needs of practitioners of homeopathy who wish to further their knowledge and skills in a number of areas, including homeopathic research, reflective practice, education and supervision. It also offers the opportunity to substantially develop existing professional practice interests through a student initiated study and also by means of the Dissertation.

It provides a forum for homeopaths around the world to share knowledge and experience and debate methodological and contemporary issues in homeopathy within a collaborative, on-line learning community.

This strikes me an interesting.

Entry Requirements

You will need:
A recognised British honours degree of 2.2 or above, or equivalent, and a recognised qualification in homeopathy (a minimum four year part-time or three year full-time course), and hold current Registration with an approved homeopathic organisation. Since both reflective practice and supervision form major threads within the course you will be expected to be engaged in both for the duration of the course.

GCSE English, or IELTS 6.5 in both the reading and writing bands (or equivalent).

.

I know some people say educational standards have been slipping, but surely someone with a 2.2 or above would have GCSE English.


I'm probably missing something - usually do.

I have a friend (with a 2:1 in History) who for many years put the initials FEME after his name - failed endless maths exams!

I assume that there are individuals with the same block only for English?

You can't usually get a place in university without having at least a C in maths and English. Maybe some polys and arts departments are less strict, but I can't help wondering how someone who can't read or write could pass any exams.

Is this anything to do with the cultural snobbery of arts/humanities graduates (i.e. ignorance of science/maths is something to be proud of, while ignorance of literature is shameful)?

I my friend's defence he did keep trying to pass a maths 'O' level. For cynics about exams, he finally passed - but it was a GCSE rather than an 'O' Level!

I would have thought the absence of GCSE level maths was a pre-requisite for homeopathy courses. if you can do the math then your realize that the products contain nothing but water and associated contaminants.

Is that the degree where you take one teeny, eeeny, weeny little bit of education and then set out on a quest to see how far it can be diluted?

Cut to the chase - you don't need to start with anything, the end result is the same whatever.

I failed english language and literature at GSCE, with Ds for both. In my defence I was a lazy bar steward and left all the coursework until the week before final submission. From memory I had to do around 20 pieces of coursework in that one week (I was also one the the guinea pigs who was taught to read and write via ITA which screwed up my spelling abilites for life) . My A-level timetable didnt allow for me to resit, at least not without dropping one of my A-levels, so I never did pass.

Poly admissions policies being what they were I went on to do an honours degree in applied chemistry followed by the most mind numbingly boring PhD in the history of mankind*. Recognising the danger to my sanity I quit after a couple of years and moved into the real world of pharms R&D. What im trying to say is a pass in English is not needed you do, however, need to be able to read and write.


Interestingly the course quoted by bindeweed in the OP is an e-learning course so you can study from the comfort of your own home anywhere in the world. One must presume that the materials required for any practical aspects of the course can be obtained by simply turning on your kitchen tap, filling a bottle and labelling with the remedy/cure/therapy/placebo of your choice.
