I find it unsurprising that the fraudsters, witting or otherwise, who “teach” this “course” can’t even manage to spell “ayurveda” correctly in their lecture slide.

Whether you agree with all that guff or not, you could easily spend 3 years attempting to learn it and not even begin to scratch the surface of the subject (especially at the pace today’s Universities teach at, to make themselves more accessible to thickos).
However, as none of these treatments are measurable (i.e. not science), I struggle to see how it’s made it into a University, nevermind as a BSc.
Perhaps they should reclassify it as BSc(Fake)

There’s nothing morally compromised about pole dancing, Dr Aust.

(you forget, I stage manage burlesque shows as a second job)

Be fair to Westminster, Frank, they’re not selling it that cheap. It’s £ 3,145 per year for the three years, plus whatever it costs you to live in London, probably a decent whack.

Of course, you might be able to earn some money to fund you through the course by already being a practising Alternative Therapist. Or estate agent or pole dancer. I wonder which of the three professions is the least morally compromised?
