The Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) is a chiropractic college and clinic based in Bournemouth, Dorset, England. Opened in 1965, the AECC is the oldest and largest chiropractic college in Europe, home to 500-plus undergraduate students . The degree programme available at the AECC is a Master of Chiropractic (MChiro). The MChiro is known as an ‘integrated masters’ qualification, as AECC students join the college at an undergraduate level but graduate with a masters qualification. Degrees at the AECC are validated by Bournemouth University. The AECC also houses the biggest chiropractic clinic in Europe with around over 50,000 out-patient treatments given at the AECC every year . A new £3.8m chiropractic clinic was built on the AECC campus during 2008, which opened on 12 January 2009 . The former England rugby international and Strictly Come Dancing star Austin Healey cut the ribbon to the new clinic at its grand opening on 3 April 2009. The AECC is an associate college of Bournemouth University. The college campus is set in a former 19th century convent, located between the Boscombe and Pokesdown areas of Bournemouth.
