Important steps to follow before
you start
We are delighted to announce that following a lengthy period of consultation and receipt of relevant approvals, AECC University College has changed its name to Health Sciences University (HSU). This represents a significant milestone in our institutional journey as we proudly carry this new prestigious title.
Our mission to create a healthier society through education, research and clinical care is as relevant and pertinent today as it was when we started our journey 59 years ago as the first chiropractic training provider in Europe.
