Applying to study at the College
The Bachelor of Chiropractic (BChiro) is a five-year professional degree.
The College has one intake per year in early February. We accept applications all year around and the first round of interviews will commence mid-year. There are limited places available, and it is strongly advised that you apply early.
Some people may have already completed the first-year foundation courses with an alternate provider and so can apply for entry into Year 2 of our programme.
Your application to the College includes a number of steps to help us get to know you, including an admissions interview and a 500-word essay on why you’re pursuing a career in chiropractic and your current understanding of chiropractic principles. Full details will be provided at the relevant time.
The College manages a competitive enrolment process. Applicants are expected to have performed well academically and have a good understanding of chiropractic and how our guiding philosophy drives our vision of a world of people expressing optimal potential.

Application process
To be considered for an offer of enrolment, you will have successfully completed all parts of the application process.
The first step is to complete our online application form along with providing all supporting documents.
The Admissions team will review your application to determine your entry point into the College and work with you to advise on any additional entry requirements.
To help us get to know you better, you will be invited to an interview and asked to write an admissions essay.

If you have completed your foundation studies via an alternate pathway, you may be required to complete an online philosophy and technique course to prepare you for entry to the College.
How to strengthen my application
Many of our successful applicants will have an understanding of chiropractic from experiencing chiropractic care personally and/or spending time in observation with one or more chiropractors. These valuable experiences gained, clarify and confirm the big questions of purpose and passion.
