Degree in chiropractic

Bachelor and Master of Science in Chiropractic
In cooperation with Dresden International University (DIU), the European Chiropractic Academy offers a Bachelor and Master of Science degree in Chiropractic. The status of chiropractic is increased by this qualification option. Before the introduction of the course it was not possible to qualify as a chiropractor academically or to get involved in research within Germany or the Netherlands (e.g. at universities).

The course is largely practice-oriented in order to meet the great responsibility towards the people to be cared for. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the scientific basis and philosophical outlook, as this is the only way to develop ethical and responsible behavior.

The course has a modular structure. The individual modules are concluded with exams. In our training practices, practical experience is gained parallel to theoretical lessons.

  • Requirements for a bachelor’s degree
  • The general or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification or technical college entrance qualification is required for the bachelor’s degree.
  • If you do not have a university entrance qualification, you can take a university entrance exam at Dresden International University.
