The Experience
Who is teaching?
The programme follows a structured conventional learning approach, grounded in face-to-face lectures, small-group tutorials, hands-on practical sessions, and supervised clinical training. Learning is reinforced through case-based discussions, clinical demonstrations, and direct mentorship by experienced educators, ensuring strong foundational knowledge, clinical competence, and professional discipline essential for chiropractic practice.
On Campus Learning
Students will carry out their academic and research activities on the University campus, learning within well-equipped teaching laboratories, chiropractic technique labs, and academic facilities. The Project Paper is conducted at the University of Cyberjaya campus, with applied learning and data exposure supported through recognised clinical training centres, ensuring integration of research, clinical practice, and real-world chiropractic care.
