The Northern College of Acupuncture York

York is an exciting city and a great place to study! It has a lot to offer including plenty of accommodation, shopping, restaurants, coffee bars, cinemas and all the amenities you would expect. Step out of our front door and you are right in the heart of the historic centre.

The College

Established in 1988 the Northern College of Acupuncture is the leading acupuncture college in the UK. We are an independent teaching college as well as a registered educational charity. Since the early days the college has gone from strength to strength and we now educate acupuncturists, Chinese herbal medicine practitioners and complementary therapists. Our thriving and well respected teaching clinics offer acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine advice to the local community.

Pioneering

We are proud to be pioneers in our industry! We were the first teaching institution of any kind in the UK to offer a University degree in acupuncture, as well as being the first to achieve professional accreditation. We were also the first to offer a University degree in Chinese herbal medicine.

Our building

Beloved by staff, students, graduates and patients the College and clinics are housed in an four story elegant Georgian town house with sweeping staircases, high ceilings and airy rooms. It was adapted to our purpose by the York Conservation Trust in 2000 and houses both the College and our teaching clinics.
