Osteopathy degree courses
Our Degree Courses are Accredited by the General Osteopathic Council and validated by Anglia Ruskin University.
Study part-time or full-time for a degree in osteopathy
Osteopathy is one of 14 Allied Health Professions recognised by NHS England.
01
The London School of Osteopathy offers students the choice of qualifying with an undergraduate Masters of Osteopathy (MOst) or Bachelors of Osteopathy (Hons). All students are initially enrolled on the MOst degree course. There is the option to study on a full or part-time basis.
- Both the MOst and BOst degree course follows the same curriculum during the first two years of study and enable students to achieve the same level of clinical competency.
- The MOst and BOst degrees will enable you to become a fully-fledged independent practitioner of osteopathy on graduating.
- The degrees are validated by the Anglia Ruskin University, and accredited by the General Osteopathic Council.
02
Students make the decision of whether they wish to qualify with a MOst or a BOst in their penultimate year of studies.
Your decision as to whether to qualify with a MOst or a BOst may be based on the following:
- How quickly you wish to complete your studies. A full-time BOst degree takes 3 ½ years to complete – a MOst takes a further six months.
- Where you wish to practice after qualification. Both qualifications enable you to practice within the UK. Some countries in Europe require Osteopaths to hold an MOst qualification.
- MOst students complete a significant piece of research, which may be in the form of a literature review, experiment, or another methodology of your choosing.
- Your academic ability. The final year for MOst students is at Masters level, which requires greater academic rigour and depth than in previous years.
- Your other commitments. Some students complete with the BOst as they feels that this will better allow them to balance the demands of the course with their work and family lives.
