What you can study here
Health Sciences University (UCO School of Osteopathy) teaches one allied health profession at pre-registration level, training osteopaths. Every course listed on this page is approved by its regulator, which is what makes it count: finishing an approved course is what entitles you to apply for registration, and registration is what lets you hold the protected title and be appointed to the job.
The provision here is at master’s level, which means it is designed for people who already hold a relevant first degree. Pre-registration master’s courses cover the same regulated content as an undergraduate degree, including the placement hours, in a shorter and more intense programme. Course lengths here range from 2 years to 4 years.
A typical offer is published for every course here. Treat it as the shape of the offer rather than a guarantee: allied health courses are almost always interviewed, most require a satisfactory enhanced DBS or equivalent check and occupational health clearance, and a strong application usually needs relevant care or observation experience alongside the grades. 1 course carries a UCAS code, so it is applied for through the central system rather than direct to the university.
