What are the entry requirements?

Our acupuncture degree course welcomes students from diverse backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, and abilities. Applicants may already hold a degree, a practitioner qualification, or be further education leavers pursuing acupuncture as a first career.

Mature students: We consider applications from students with a range of qualifications, including life and work experience.

Student coming direct from secondary education: You need 96 UCAS points, plus at least a GCSE Grade C or above (or equivalent) in English and Mathematics.

Transfers: Students who started elsewhere but wish to transfer to complete their training can apply to join NCA.

Overseas students (including EU/EEA): We are currently unable to accept overseas students who require a student visa.
