Complementary Medicine degrees were established in 2002 at the University of Lincoln, before being transferred to Lincoln College in 2012 where it has continued to thrive and grow in popularity.
Our Complementary Medicine courses offer a unique combination of education - learning from skilled and experienced clinical practitioners whilst providing hands-on experience to the general public.
We have Level 6 degree courses in Clinical Herbalism, along with a Level 5 Diploma in Complementary Healthcare and Wellbeing, and Level 4 Certificate in Complementary Studies (Herbalism). View the different course pages for more details about each of these programmes.
There are many reasons our students choose to study with us, whether it is continuing from further education or coming back to study after a career change.
We’ve designed our degrees to focus on preparing graduates for employment in their chosen sector or industry by supporting the development of both academic knowledge and vocational skills.
Our classes are smaller which means our students can receive more one-to-one time with their tutors, as well as engaging debates and collaborative working with fellow students.
With our condensed timetables, students may choose to work while studying, look after family or enjoy a better study-life balance.
Our university-level students graduate in an annual ceremony held in and around the grounds of the historic Lincoln Cathedral.

The Career Degree bursary was established in order to enhance our Higher Education students’ academic programme and support their studies - helping to make our students more employable, industry prepared and equipped for life as a graduate.
The Career Degree bursary is made up of two components:
1. A bursary of up to £500 for full-time students and up to £250 for part-time students over the course of their higher education programme to support any aspect of independent study, such as equipment, books etc.
2. In addition, course coordinators will be allocated an additional payment to spend each academic year on enhancements that will support the development of employability skills and progression to graduate level employment. Students are encouraged to discuss ideas on how this can be spent with their tutors.
