Welcome to the NCA!

Located in the centre of the historic and beautiful city of York, we are a proudly independent, small and friendly College, with an international reputation. For 34 years we have been focussed on our mission – to create great practitioners – and to help great practitioners develop their skills and knowledge!

We teach a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture, MSc/PGDip in Nutrition Science and Practice, MSc/PGDip in Chinese Herbal Medicine and online masters courses for practitioners, and our alumni continue to receive support in their businesses via our Practitioner Hub. Our lecturers are working in their fields and passionate about the subjects they teach and our clinical training, based in our college building, is at the heart of our practitioner training courses.

We invite you to explore our website and find out about how, with an NCA training or practitioner development course, you can help yourself to help others and have a profession to be passionate about.

Fully accredited and validated courses to ensure the highest standard for your studies

Our students love their time here, our graduates love being in practice

I graduated from the NCA in November after taking the three-year BSc in Acupuncture course. I would highly recommend the college... The support and teaching are of a very high quality and the college is always developing - making sure those standards don't slip. The NCA was the start of a new adventure for me and from the moment I stepped into the building I knew I had found somewhere special. I will forever be grateful to all the staff across all the departments for making my experience so wonderful. Life changing in the best possible way!
