AN EXCITING CAREER
IN NATURAL HEALTH
FOR SCHOOL LEAVERS
2017 School Leaver Prospectus
Be the future of wellness
A JOURNEY OF A
THOUSAND MILES
BEGINS WITH
A SINGLE STEP.
Lao Tzu
Step out
Step right
The journey after school may seem
daunting. It may seem exciting. It may
seem both at the same time. Whatever it
is, it begins with you stepping out of your
comfort zone and into something new.
Woo hoo!
Or left. It doesn’t matter. What matters is
that you make a choice and move. Research
what you want to do. Talk to people. Attend
open days. There’s never one road to
success. The important thing is not to stand
still. Just take one step at a time.
Step up
Step together
Make your journey your own. Leaving
school and taking the next step to
independence is one of life’s big
milestones. The pressure might be on,
but you can do it. Take control. Live
your life your way.
The best journeys are those that are shared.
This doesn’t mean you have to follow your
school friends to tertiary study – it means
finding your people and sharing the journey
with them.
Make Endeavour College of Natural Health
your first step towards the future of wellness.

You might know we are the largest natural
health college in the Southern Hemisphere.
Yes, we’ve been around since 1975. You
may not know that you will learn from
some of the natural health industry’s best
teachers, rub shoulders with some of its
superstars and no doubt discover a bunch
of like-minded people amongst your peers.
It’s OK if you’re not thinking about work
right now, but keep this in mind: as an
Endeavour student you will complete
hundreds of practical, clinical hours at our
Wellnation Clinics during your course.
With this hands-on experience and
Endeavour’s strong links to business and
industry, you’ll be well and truly workready when you graduate.
Yes, that’s right. As a private college, you do
not need a specific ATAR or OP rank. Before
you get too excited, you do need to show us
you’re passionate about natural health and
wellness study. You must have the equivalent
of a year 12 High School Certificate (it does
help if you have studied science or maths at
high school) and put your best foot forward at
an interview with us.

The course with Endeavour College has
been really good and has exceeded my
expectations. The experience has helped me to determine that
I want to use my naturopathy degree to focus on fertility, and
mothers’ and newborns’ health.
Being involved in the Endeavour Open
Days and having the opportunity to help
other people embark on their natural health journey has been a
major highlight for me. People seem to like talking to the younger
students such as myself so they hear all about studying with
Endeavour first hand.
The ambassadorship has given me great networking opportunities,
and I’ve met so many inspiring people who are passionate about the
field of natural health, including fourth year students who I might
not have had the chance to cross paths with otherwise.
I thought the first year would be pretty basic but in our second
semester we got straight into looking at all the different herbs and
learning about them which has been amazing.
Overall I’ve enjoyed the challenge of honing my public speaking
skills and communicating with confidence to help others decide if a
career in natural health is for them.
If you’re considering whether or not to apply for the scholarship with
Endeavour – just give it a go. When I filled out the application form
for the Endeavour School Leaver Scholarship I never in my wildest
dreams thought I’d get it, and I did!

Being an Endeavour Student Ambassador,
through the scholarship, has helped me to
reach my full potential. I have attended several Open Days and a
Career Expo. These events were immensely fun as I was able to
communicate with present Year 12 students about their passion for
natural health and like-minded interests.
Endeavour offers a classroom environment
that promotes shared student and lecturer
discussion for a deeper appreciation of what clinical practice will
involve. The merger of science and holism encourages us to think
critically and develop essential skills as budding naturopaths. I am
also interested in postgrad research and if I can identify a gap in
current research findings I may also look to start that at some point.
I came to naturopathy after having great experiences with a
naturopath who inspired me to do the course. He’s actually
already offered me the chance to partner with his business when I
graduate, so I feel like there are already really exciting possibilities
ahead for me.
Endeavour has equipped me with the skills and necessities
that I will carry throughout my future studies and beyond. With
this scholarship, I have become much more confident and have
strengthened my dedication to the natural health sector.

The scholarship has been more than a financial support,
allowing me to fully immerse myself in campus life and the
natural health experience. The opportunity and degree have
given me the confidence and dedication vital for my pursuit of
happiness and health.
I loved speaking with people at the career expos and Natural Health
Open Days as part of the scholarship – I got a huge kick out of being
able to guide others on their potential career pathways.

Complementary medicine (CM) refers to a broad set of healthcare
practices that are generally not yet been integrated into the
dominant healthcare system. CM disciplines take a holistic view of
illness and wellness, and encompass therapeutic approaches that
address body, emotions, mind and spirit.
The Bachelor of Complementary Medicine is for students who are
interested in the field as a whole and not in studying to become
a practitioner. The course provides you with a broad perspective
on the scope of CM in the overall context of today’s healthcare
environment, including public health, ethics, research, health
promotion and health behaviour.
With exposure to a wide variety of natural medicine disciplines,
you will be able to develop a sophisticated appreciation of their
interrelationships and potential contribution in multidisciplinary and
integrative health settings.
