ACHIEVE MASTERY OF MANDARIN AND ENGLISH - TWO OF THE WORLD’S MOST WIDELY SPOKEN LANGUAGESThe Bachelor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Hons) is a bilingual programme that is conducted in both English and Mandarin with lectures and course materials conveyed in both languages. While a foundation in Mandarin is desirable, non-native speakers are able to undertake complementary elective courses at INTI to achieve a suitable level of fluency in Mandarin. Upon completion of the course, graduates will have achieved mastery of two of the world’s most widely spoken languages.

PRACTICAL HANDS-ON COMPONENTA robust practical component is integrated into the academic programme. As part of their course requirements, students will follow a clinical supervisor to be exposed to standard medical practices in Traditional Chinese Medicine in a medical practice in Malaysia or in China. Students will be called to diagnose patients and perform various treatments under supervision. Upon graduation, students will have completed over 2,200 hours of clinical attachment and hands-on training.

This hands-on component is an invaluable foundation when graduates undertake their housemanship programme after graduation. To gain international exposure, and as part of their training, selected students will also be called upon to attend global symposiums and talks as well as participate in voluntary humanitarian efforts.

COLLABORATION WITH CHINA’S BEST UNIVERSITIES FOR TCMStudents can complete the course in Malaysia (5+0) with internship programmes locally or overseas in China or alternatively complete one or two years of the course (3+2 or 4+1) via a transfer programme at the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, the Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. Successful completion of a two-year transfer programme at the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine entitles a graduate to receive a dual graduate degree conferred by both universities. The 3 universities are consistently ranked as the top 10 universities for Traditional Chinese Medicine in China.
