About the Faculty
The Faculty of Traditional and Complementary Medicine was established in 2010 in support of the Ministry of Health’s efforts to integrate traditional and complementary medicine into the Malaysian national health system. The Faculty is the first in Malaysia to offer a fully accredited Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine Science (Hons) [BHMS (Hons.)] which is in accordance with requirements set by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), Traditional & Complementary Medicine Council, Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Malaysian Homeopathy Council (MPHM).
The Faculty leverages its extensive collaboration with international partner institutions to provide the best complementary health education to its students and has adopted a holistic and integrated approach to education and healthcare.
