Chiropractic Degrees

Chiropractic is so much more than painful backs and stiff necks.

Chiropractors are primary healthcare professionals who specialise in bones, joints, muscles and soft tissue. This often involves the manipulation of the spine, but they are often consulted on the effects of musculoskeletal disorders on the nervous system and general health too.

We offer a range of Chiropractic courses, based from our dedicated Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (WIoC) centre in Treforest, Pontypridd, that focus on giving you the skills and knowledge needed to find a role in the industry and meet the UK registration requirements to practice.

Hands-on Learning

Hands-on Learning

Elements of clinical work are introduced from the start and are carefully integrated to reinforce your academic study. Your final year is a clinical placement, during which you will treat and manage patients with musculoskeletal disorders to develop your clinical skills, confidence and employability.

Accredited Courses

accredited courses

The University of South Wales was the first university in the UK to offer an integrated undergraduate degree course in Chiropractic that’s accredited by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC). It’s also accredited by the European Council on Chiropractic Education (ECCE), so our graduates are able to practice in most European counties and are eligible to sit entry examinations in most accredited areas worldwide.
