Major overview
If you receive excellent results throughout your undergraduate Chiropractic degree, you may be eligible to undertake Honours in Chiropractic.
This is an additional year of study designed to further the knowledge you’ve developed throughout your undergraduate Chiropractic course.
Working closely with an academic, you’ll undertake an intensive research project on a topic of your choice, and further develop your research ability through an advanced research skills unit.
What I enjoyed most about studying at Murdoch University was the outreach programs. I went on the outreach program to Tom Price for two weeks and it really gave us a taste for what practice would be like after university.
