Study Ayurvedic Medicine Abroad AT SCU
SCU is an advocate for merging experiences of Ayurveda learned in Western and Eastern cultures, with a commitment to enhancing student training through international learning experiences. Studying abroad provides students with a global perspective on how different health practices, health care platforms, and cultural influences on health and wellness influence the delivery of healthcare.
The Ayurveda Medicine Department study abroad experience provides students with the opportunity to learn ancient techniques and theories, paired with modern scientific research from prestigious universities and hospitals located where Ayurvedic medicine originated. The Ayurveda Medicine Department currently affiliates with esteemed organizations in India, including:
- Amrita Center for Advanced Research in Ayurveda,
- AVP Research Foundation,
- KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research (KAHER),
- The Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda (ITRA).
