Somatology applications almost closed for 2015
SOUGHT AFTER: Somatology graduates find work around the world
Thursday, 25 September 2014
There are lots of reasons to consider studying Somatology at CPUT.
Somatology is the study of health and skincare and CPUT graduates are eagerly sought after by industry because of their intensive training in all aspects of health and wellness.
CPUT’s Somatology offering is considered one of the best spa training facilities in the country with the course constantly adapting to meet the latest international wellness treatment offerings.
Far from being simply beauty therapists, experienced Somatology graduates can go on to work alongside dermatologists and plastic surgeons in health and skincare clinics around the world.
Head of Department Dr Nicole Brooks says a Somatology student is 100% guaranteed to find a job after graduation.
“We are the only institution in the Western Cape offering a B-Tech degree which is internationally recognised,” she says.
Students are trained in a state-of-the-art spa facility and spend a significant portion of their second and third year doing Work Integrated Learning.
Some of the intensive courses on offer include anatomy and physiology, nutrition and business practice.
The course is on offer at our Cape Town campus and during term time a wellness clinic is offered twice a week where the public can experience luxurious treatments at a drastically reduced price.
Applications for Somatology close at the end of September.
