University for Self Cultivation & Professional Skills in Chinese and Wudang Culture                    Chinese Native Medicines and Internalized Sports
Ambassador for Intercultural Open University distance learning China/ Europe

The only University where you can practice health and study to become teacher or therapist or both in equal measure!

Our study program aims to be as complete and agnostic as can be, while at the same time bidding for respect of original modes of thinking embedded in Chinese native sciences. Our program is challenging, because it takes you across the borderland of intelectual understanding in an immersion of culturally based assumptions. It questions westernisation of Chinese native sciences and investigates the validity of native sciences through experiences. Our program makes you your own trial example and proof to make the native sciences work.
Studies of western scientific and Chinese native sciences go hand in hand, social sciences and deductive and reductive sciences go hand in hand with the ethical sciences from native China. We combine antropology, a dewesternized approach to sociology, anatomy and physiology on western and Chinese historical grounds, the role of ethics, Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism and so on. We offer the most extensive study program on basic theories around (lasting all together 3 years!). The foundation program for this is available as a distance education program with ECTS certification! all our programs are personalized, so no masses of students in the way of getting what you need! Our program is creative, playful, non-authoritorian and allows for personal development and inventivity to help you become leaders in the field.

Study these and more subjects in the supportive international surroundings of our open, cross-cultural, academic approach that is making way for ancient knowledge, skills, discipline as well as modern research. With your knowledge and skills you too can contribute to a healthier living environment, proper development of world health systems and the highest class quality of individuals living in society.
