This course is a partnership between London Metropolitan University and Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SUTCM). To participate in this course, students must first complete the SUTCM programme, with additional London Met modules. Provided students achieve the necessary grades, they’ll then progress onto this course – which they can choose to study either at SUTCM in Shanghai, or at London Metropolitan University in the UK.
Herbal medicine takes a holistic approach to wellness, and uses natural products to treat patients. On the top-up course, students will expand on their knowledge of traditional medicines and learn about the ways they are developing with the aid of technology. Students will look at the way in which plant-derived drugs can be created through chemistry and pharmacology, and study related areas of science, including cell biology, bioanalytical science, medicinal chemistry and toxicology.
