DISTANCE DEGREES IN HOMEOPATHY
Degrees in Homeopathy The following distance learning degree opportunities are currently available: B.Phil. (Bachelor of Philosophy) in Homeopathy: available to qualified and practising homeopaths who wish to convert their current diploma to a degree by writing an extended project. The minimum time of study depends on the student’s prior qualification, experience and education. There is no taught coursework – this path to completion consists solely of advanced entry and completion of the project. Suggested completion period one academic year (9 months), but in exceptional circumstances completion may be sooner. The suggested length of the B.Phil. project report is 10,000 words and it can be based on case studies, theory or philosophy of homeopathy. Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) in Homeopathy and/or Energy therapies, by research and dissertation, under the supervision of our Professor of Homeopathy. There is no taught coursework – this is a UK-style doctorate which is earned solely by research. Suggested completion period 18 months, but some projects may take longer and the total fees will depend on length of study. Applicants must have a Bachelor’s degree or higher degree (in any field) from an approved university plus a professional qualification in homeopathy and preferably 5 years’ clinical experience. Sound knowledge of scientific method, research methodology and statistics is strongly preferred. All research proposals must be ethical and in accordance with relevant laws of the country where the research is carried out (including any applicable data protection laws). The candidate should be in a position to obtain any necessary permissions for access to patients, use of records, etc. Ph.D. candidates must have local access to all facilities and equipment needed to conduct their research and perform statistical analysis of the results. Liaison with the University will be by distance learning only. Please note that the only route to a Ph.D. in Homeopathy is by writing a traditional, supervised research-based dissertation and we do not offer an independent study or alternative route to the Ph.D. in Homeopathy. We do not offer honorary doctorates in Homeopathy. The suggested length of the Ph.D. thesis in homeopathy is at least 25,000 words. Applications from exceptional candidates who do not meet the preferred criteria will be considered on their individual merits. Your existing diploma in homeopathy and/or other prior qualifications may also be considered towards various other degree courses which we offer. If you need any further guidance about whether you qualify for entry to one of our current degree programmes, please send us details of your background and prior education to enable us to advise you further. If you would like further advice on whether your proposed work would be suitable for Ph.D. registration, please give an outline of the proposed project including aims of the project and likely timescale. If the project is not considered suitable for Ph.D., then it might be considered for the degree of M.Phil. (Master of Philosophy).
