to include biology and one other science, which can
include chemistry, physics, psychology, PE or a sports
A’level with a high scientific content. A typical
offer is: BBC
It is an integrated degree and there is no expectation
that you will have a degree already, although a number
of mature students do come to us with high level qualifications.
We welcome certificated evidence of Key Skills.
We also recognise AVCE, BTEC National Diplomas, VCE’s,Access
Certificates, Scottish Highers, Irish Leaving Certificates

Equal opportunities
The BSO is an equal opportunity organisation and is
fully committed to a policy of treating all its students
and staff equally. We will take all reasonable steps
to provide education for students on the basis of their
experience and abilities without regard to race, colour,
ethnic origin, nationality, national origin, religion
or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marital status,
age or disability. We will also take all reasonable
steps to provide an environment in which all students
are treated with respect and dignity and that is free
of harassment based upon race, colour, ethnic origin,
nationality, national origin, religion or belief, sex,
sexual orientation, marital status, age or disability.
We will not condone any form of harassment, whether
engaged in by employees, students or by outside third
parties who do business with us.
Accreditation for prior (certificated) learning
In recent years, the diversity of applications to the
BSO has widened and we are now experiencing an increase
in the number of applicants who have successfully achieved
undergraduate and postgraduate science degrees. It has
become apparent that some of the content of these degrees
(Human Biology; Anatomical Sciences; Biology; Physiology)
have some similar content as the M.Ost. In addition
to this we are also experiencing an increase in applications
from qualified and current students from other healthcare
professions. The BSO has developed a AP(credit)Learning
policy.
