Overview

Bachelor of Chiropractic Science

Chiropractors have the privilege of being able to positively impact people’s lives through the provision of natural and non-invasive healthcare methods. 

They have a deep understanding of the body’s structures and how each interacts to affect our health. 

Using spinal adjustments, manipulation and other physical means to improve neuromusculoskeletal function, chiropractors can help us live healthy and active lives.

Macquarie’s Bachelor of Chiropractic Science – the longest-running degree of its kind in Australia – will prepare you for a rewarding career in one of the largest primary health professions. 

When you combine it with the Master of Chiropractic, you’ll be equipped to work in private practice, chiropractic sports medicine, allied health areas, health insurance assessment, medico-legal advising, work health and safety, rehabilitation and research.

Key features

  • Master your skills in chiropractic manipulation
  • Get the requisite academic background for postgraduate study
  • Receive training in diagnostics
  • Enhance your learning within the unique health precinct
