About New Zealand College of Chiropractic

The New Zealand College of Chiropractic (NZCC) was established in 1994 and teaches one degree: the five-year Bachelor of Chiropractic (BChiro). Students do supervised internships in the college's own Chiropractic Centre in the final two years. The campus is in Mt Wellington, Auckland.

The college recruits students from many countries, mainly North America and Europe, and publishes a separate international fee. Entry is not straight from school for most applicants: you need 120 credits of prerequisite health science study (anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, microbiology and electives) at NZQF Level 5 or above, and IELTS 7.0. Indian students with first-year science at university level should send their transcripts for assessment.
