Review Time
Studying at Endeavour has been a great experience. There have been so many opportunities to be involved in the Natural Health and Wellness community that Endeavour have initiated which I'm very grateful for. The academics and student support team are always extremely helpful and willing to guide you through your entire education journey. I would highly recommended Endeavour for the support, the community, the opportunities during and post study, as well as the level of education that is provided.
I studied a 4-year bachelor of health science at Endeavour and graduated almost 3 years ago. I absolutely loved my time at Endeavour, Perth Campus. Thanks to Endeavour I found my passion in a time when I was lost with what I wanted to do with my life. Naturopathy was the perfect modality for me to be able to fulfil my desire to help people, but also stay true to my values and faith in natural medicine. The 4 years were some of the best years of my life. Whilst faced with the obvious challenges and pressures of a degree, I was surrounded by like-minded students of which many have become friends for life. The support from the lecturers and clinical supervisors were honestly fantastic. I could not have asked for a better study experience. Upon graduating I was ready to hit the ground running in clinical practice with all the skills I needed to be career-ready and am currently successfully consulting in a busy practice. I cannot recommend Endeavour enough. I will always be grateful that I found them and followed my passion.
I loved my time at Endeavour College. I graduated in 2019 and didn't have to cope with a lot of the big changes to online learning, so my experience may be different to the current degree, but overall it was wonderful!The best part is the hands-on experience of the lecturers and clinic supervisors. Their actual clinical experience and wisdom creates so much trust and interest in the industry and provides more than the textbooks and content ever could. I also loved the balance of traditional and modern information so that we learnt so much about the roots of naturopathy that is now supported by current research. The one drawback would probably be the study load; in reality the degree should probably be 5 years because some semesters are intense, especially for students balancing jobs and families. I did complete it in 4 years but consider myself lucky. It's a wonderful, small and close-knit college and I will always look back fondly on my time at Endeavour. I have my life-long friends who I am now lucky enough to consider colleagues.
The degree is very much overpriced (85k!) for the quality of education and clinical experience we receive. This is particularly notable since the online learning change. The students resisted the online learning, but the college wouldn't budge. The degree was already too expensive, but then you go to having 1 lecturer teach 50-100 students from their laptop, vs small classes of 15-30 students on campus, and you really start wondering where your money is going!You work hard for 3 years, for your ‘clinical experience’ in your final year, but there’s not enough clients for you to see. You pay so much money just to sit around and hope someone might book an appointment. Given how much we're paying for this clinical experience, you'd think the college would be willing to do some marketing to at least get the clinic busy enough that each student could see at least a few clients a block.The staff are generally great, and I've had some fantastic teachers. It's the institution that's letting the place down. I would not recommend Endeavour to anyone, unless the college starts listening to the students making some real changes.Endeavour really needs to step up and deliver what we’re paying for.
Endeavour College is a great place to learn, however, recent changes to the way content are delivered online has made it very difficult for students to learn and have an enjoyable experience. There are no opportunities for students to connect face-to-face with lecturers and the former pre-recorded lectures for the biological science subjects (the tougher ones to learn and absorb) have been deliberately made unavailable to students, forcing them to learn the content on their own by either reading slides or learning from textbooks. The students have asked the college to reinstate the pre-recorded lectures, however, the college refuses to do so, which I find it very disappointing.
I am a current student in the bachelor of health science naturopathy. I have studied a social work degree at another university in Australia, as well as a diploma in nursing, and i can say the structure and content at endeavour is on par. However, if you are interested in nutrition, pharmacology, biology, metabolism, herbal medicines, i can assure that you will love endeavour and meet so many likeminded people, in class, clinic and in the student online social groups. I enjoy the flexibility of studying lectures and tutorials online, via recorded lectures and zoom tutorials. It means i can access some classes without having to drive into the city, find parking, and spend half the day getting home. 100% recommend endeavour if you are passionate about health, and committed to your studies (as biochemistry, biology and pharmacology classes are challenging)
Warning to all new students! When you are in the first couple years of this degree, they treat you like you matter and like your learning experience is most important to them. However, going through the Clinical Practicum subjects is the most disappointing part & where the college shows its true colours. Don’t expect to have a nice experience, because the college cares more about your money than your learning experience.You wait so long and study so hard to get to the final years of your studies, only to find the Clinical Practicum subjects are poorly managed and students are poorly supported. The wellness program they have in place is over complicated and stressful for students to navigate, and the school forgets to teach large parts of this which makes it difficult and frustrating. The system in place does not allow you time to think due to all the ridiculous double handling of paperwork and unnecessary complex multifaceted parts of the consultation process that you try to get your head around - and in the end won’t be any use to your knowledge !!!The staff on-site the campus do their best to help students however it’s the HODs (Heads of departments) who ignore emails and refuse to listen to what we need as students to make our learning environment less stressful and better to learn in. So you end up wasting much time on trying to figure out the struggles of the wellness system that have no use to you when you finish your degree!!It seems there is a massive power struggle to get what WE PAY FOR as students and clients end up getting poor treatment as a result.In fourth year clinic I only experienced struggle and turmoil which started to deplete my creativity and desire to learn. The fire I initially had prior to starting clinic was quashed by the lack of support from our HOD to make our environment less stressful and better for learning, more about researching our clients and finding our way as new naturopaths. The clinical Practicum subjects have time changed at the last minute without consulting students!!! Then you are sometimes required to do make ups regardless of how many clients you have brought in. An absolute dick around. I really regret studying at this facility. I would NOT recommend students choose this college if they had other choices due to the poor treatment I received during my fourth year at the Adelaide Campus. Go do a health science degree somewhere else first.
Currently 2 year Nut Med Student. This place gets some bad press and I can appreciate why however there are somewhat two sides to this. Despite what people say, the content is on par with what you would expect to find and one of the bigger universities, in some cases other courses at bigger unis are much easier (I have completed subjects at Monash and Swinburne). 1st year chemistry and Physiology at endeavour, for example, meet the sufficient post grad medicine pre-req requirements for 2nd year Phys and Chem units at Melbourne uni. This is part of the problem...The units are extremely content-heavy and condensed. Expect up to 100 slides in some 2 hour lectures. If you struggle with science subjects, you will need to be prepared for this. It's tough. Class structure is poor. 2 hour lectures into 1 hour tutes. most of the time the lectures are battling to get through the slides so eat into tute time. If they do make it, most of the students are exhausted so just leave...Don't expect much campus life. This is fine as a mature age, but I would be disappointed if i was younger looking for "a university experience"...expect to spend most of your times in a city building with no windows. Overall I am happy with the course and my progression but that is largely due to the the fact I'm comfortable with self-guided learning, enjoy raw science subjects and have managed expectations. There is not much else out there in terms of integrative health degrees so if you are a motivated self-starter you will enjoy the challenge.
