The Bachelor of Health Science / Master of Clinical Chiropractic at Murdoch University is a combined degree that takes students from the foundations of health sciences through to professional-level clinical chiropractic training. Across the four-year program, students gain knowledge in areas such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, health research, and public health before moving into focused study on chiropractic science, diagnosis, and techniques for the assessment and care of musculoskeletal conditions.
The structure uses Australian university norms: students complete a series of units of study, earning credit points as they move through required and elective subjects. The Bachelor's phase builds core skills in biosciences, evidence-based health practice and communication, while the Master's phase deepens understanding of chiropractic diagnostics, clinical reasoning, and therapeutic skills. A capstone clinical practicum gives students the chance to apply their studies under supervision, working with real clients in a clinical environment.
This course combines academic learning with extensive hands-on training. Work-integrated learning is a key feature, with professional placement in Murdoch’s chiropractic and related clinics in Perth. This supports the development of practical skills aligned with Australian industry expectations and prepares students to meet the requirements for registration as a chiropractor in Australia. It’s a strong fit for those interested in health care, with a focus on musculoskeletal health and improving patient wellbeing.
Applicants should check the English language requirements, which can be met by several recognised tests if English is not their first language. Those on a Student visa can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study, and graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream. Tuition fees and full entry details are published on the CRICOS register; students should confirm the latest requirements with Murdoch University.
Australian chiropractic graduates are employed in private clinics, public health services, sports medicine, occupational health and safety, and research organisations.
It typically takes 4 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$187,950 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
