CELEBRATING OUR NEW DEGREE AWARDING POWERS

As of the end of 2025 ALL students in selected Naturopathic or Naprapathic programme, no matter where they are in the world, will be offered the chance to convert their certificates and diplomas to a full degree as appropriate and in accordance with qualification specifications and all other requirements. There will be no extra charge. This can be done quickly and easily because we have designed our courses around existing university-level qualifications in the UK.

We will be offering:

Taught Professional Doctorates ND & DN
(Duration: Minimum 1.5 years. Maximum 7 years depending on mode of attendance e.g. part-time. Full-time. Fastrack. Includes Level 4 Full Registration & Licensure in the UK and ROI Europe.) Candidates on these degrees are also required to pass the SNND UK National Examinations 1, 2 & 3 as part of their course progression and graduation.
Candidates who do not complete the full ND or DN course may be eligible to graduate with alternative Certificates and Diplomas, Registration and Licensure at other levels.

Candidates who complete either course can apply for RPL and fast-track the other course if they wish to graduate, register and license for dual professions. E.G. graduate from the ND program, then RPL and undertake an additional year or so, to graduate from the DN course as well.

Doctor of Philosophy PhD (Research Degree).
Post Registration & Licensure Advanced Research Degree suitable for Board Certification as a Consultant Specialist.

These are not degrees awarded based on life experience!
We voluntarily follow the UK national government guidelines for degrees, and they state that only a maximum of 50% recognition of prior learning (RPL) can be used.
They are degrees for professions that aren't regulated in the UK, or other countries, designed to raise both academic and clinical safety standards.

At last, our students will receive the recognition they truly deserve. They dedicate years to rigorous study, navigating challenges just like any other degree student's. It's time that all their effort is celebrated and rewarded, even though these degrees aren't regulated, they are externally accredited by the volunatry professional association The Society of Naturopathic and Naprapathic Doctors. www.snnduk.org

The SNND registers and licesnes NDs and DNs in the The United Kingdom and ROI, Europe, voluntarily. Registration and licensure with the SNND demonstrates to the public and other professionals that they have completed a minimum of 4 years of training to doctorate level, are safe, reflective practitioners, who are governed and bound by contract voluntarily, and can be held accountable.

By elevating these professions, we enhance educational and clinical standards, ensuring greater safety for our patients. Join us on this exciting journey—enrol in a course today.

You won’t be disappointed!"
