The three Herbal Tradition modules are deeply integrated to ensure that the learner develops breadth and depth in the understanding of both the therapeutic repertoire of contemporary plant-based medicine, and the philosophical and historical traditions that underpin its use in holistic practice. The Human Science and Clinical Science modules adopt a systems-oriented approach, based on the principles of Functional Medicine, in which emphasis is placed on the fundamental balances and processes that determine health. The student learns to embody a process of open inquiry, moving from pattern to detail and back again – a practice at the heart of the art of all medicine.

The inclusion, in years 2 and 3, of Integration Modules – in which all lectures have a patient-centred focus, with students completing clinically-oriented small-group tasks each week – allows the introduction of inquiry-based learning (IBL) techniques proven to have beneficial effects on student satisfaction, and on the successful achievement of learning outcomes.

Students who wish to practice professionally are required to complete a 500-hour Heartwood Clinical Training Scheme during Years 2 and 3 of their studies on the Professional Course, in addition to their online studies.
