Robin began his formal studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in 2003 on the original 5-year full-time degree at Middlesex University. That course was developed in conjunction with Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, this is why Robin was awarded the dual qualifications from both Middlesex and Beijing universities.

As part of this course, Robin was required to spend half his final year in China training at two of the largest TCM hospitals in Beijing.   Robin graduated with a first class honours degree and was awarded a special prize for excellence in TCM studies by the ATCM.
