Work shadowing

In order to gain confidence in the practical application of the complex system of Ayurvedic medicine, training on patients is necessary. For this reason, an internship in India is an integral part of the course.

Gaining competence

- Application of Ayurveda medicine in a professional context

- Documentation, keeping patient files

- Assessment of therapy procedures and adaptation of therapy strategies

- Integration of Ayurveda into the modern healthcare system

 

20 days in Nadiad, India

You can only experience the full scope of Ayurveda medicine in the countries of origin. For this reason, a 3-week internship with Prof. Dr. S.N. Gupta in Nadiad is part of the entire Ayurveda medicine course.

Our students are intensively supervised there and supported in their learning process. In this Ayurveda hospital with approx. 150 beds, patients with a wide variety of illnesses, including serious ones, are treated, so that experience with Ayurveda medicine is possible on a broad level.

Our Indian partners expect students to have a good level of knowledge and therefore only start their internship at the end of their training.

Costs in Nadiad
The internship in Nadiad costs €220 per week (as of 2024) and includes basic meals and accommodation in simple 2-bed rooms. Travel costs and any excursions are not included.

Examination

After completing the seminars, there is no separate examination. If you are aiming for an academic degree, you will defend your research paper.

Q&A - what else do I need to know?

At which institution do I study?
For the Advanced Degree in Ayurvedic Medicine, you enrol directly with our Indian cooperation partner, Maganbhai Adenwala Mahagujarat University (MAM) in Nadiad.

  • Your link tutor will support you with your travel arrangements (flight and accommodation).
  • Your training fee goes directly to the MAM, but you can transfer it in € to a trust account of the REAA and we will forward the payment for you.
  • We will set up a student council to represent your interests vis-à-vis the MAM.

Where is the Master of Science (MSc) awarded?
The degree will be awarded to you by the MAM. You do not have to travel to India to receive it, but can receive your certificate at home.

What does the title "Master of Science" give me?

  • Academic degree: The MSc is a unique opportunity for Europeans to obtain an Indian university degree in Ayurvedic medicine.
  • Ayurveda expertise at the highest level: In combination with the REAA undergraduate and graduate studies, you will acquire one of the most comprehensive Ayurvedic medical skills available.
