How to Apply for a Job

The position description will be attached to the electronic requisition and reviewed in each step of the approval process. The position description serves as the point of reference when describing the job to potential candidates and applicants. Subsequently, the position description should be made available to the employee once hired and should be an integral part of the yearly evaluation process. You can send us your documents to email@domain.com or contact us for more information.

Every staff position has a grade level. Local HR offices administer the compensation system for employees in their units, evaluating jobs and determining the grade of each position based on professional knowledge, skills, required education and experience and job responsibilities; and the complexity and scope relative to other University positions.

Flexible osteopathy study options
At the London School of Osteopathy students have the flexibility of studying a degree in osteopathy on a full-time or a part-time basis.
A full-time course takes 3 ½ years or 4 years depending on whether you qualify with an MOst or a BOst.
A part-time degree takes 5 years to complete. The duration of the course has been carefully considered and structured to enable students to manage the timetabled lectures, home learning and required clinical hours whilst continuing to manage external work commitments. In certain circumstances if required the part-time MOst course can be extended to 6 years if a student needs to extend their studies over a longer period.
Whether you study on a full-time or part-time basis:
- All students are initially enrolled on the MOst course
- Lectures take place between 9am- 5pm with no evening commitment to timetabled studies
- Flexibility to schedule in your clinic hours
- Small class sizes
- Flexibility at various points during your studies to transfer from a part-time to a full-time course and vice versa.
Studying full-time
Lectures take place between Monday and Friday 9am – 5pm, where possible contact teaching hours are kept to 3 days per week leaving 2 days free for self directed study and clinic hours.
In addition students spend time in our clinic gaining all important ‘hands-on’ clinical experience. In year 1 this will consist of 100 hours per year, increasing to 600 hours in the final year.
Studying part-time
Lectures take place on alternative weekends between 9am – 5pm (Saturday and Sunday) for a total of 18 weekends between September and June. Students spend additional time in our clinic. In year 1 this will consist of 50 hours over the year and then gradually increases to 600 hours in the final year. Our flexible approach to learning extends to your studies within the clinic. Students are given the freedom where possible to select the hours each month they will spend in clinic.
Below is an example of how many hours you will need to allocate per week to each course option in the first year.
