| The BSO’s Access to Higher Education
diploma (Osteopathy and Health Care) course is designed
for students who would like to take up a career in osteopathy
but may not have all the necessary qualifications to
study for the degree.
This one year course leads to a nationally-recognised
award. Successful students may join the BSO’s
M.Ost degree programme directly, without any further
top-up study. This course prepares you for the M.Ost,
but you will also be eligible for other first degrees.
Many
Access students work during the week so the course
is delivered at the BSO on Friday evenings and Saturdays
during term time. You will also spend several hours
each week on assignments in private study, with full
access to all the BSO’s facilities, including
the library.
There is strong emphasis on the biological
and physical sciences, plus an introduction to sociology
and psychology.
A professional studies unit looks at life as a professional
osteopath. Units on mathematics, IT, communication
and study skills ensure you have a sound basis for
further study. You will also spend time observing
in the BSO clinic.
 Manmohan Birdi had always been in interested
in a career in osteopathy, but had been working
in
very different fields – IT and retail. He didn’t
have an A level in Biology, so he took the BSO’s
one-year Access to Osteopathic Healthcare course.
“The Access course really helped
me get to grips with what the degree course was really
about,” explains Manmohan, who then
went straight into studying his BSO osteopathy degree
full time.
