M.Ost applicants with prior degree-level qualifications

Applicants with science degrees

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.

Some of the content of these degrees (Human Biology; Anatomical Sciences; Biology; Physiology) closely corresponds with some of the theoretical study on the M.Ost. Our Accreditation for Prior (Certificated) Learning (APCL) policy allows someone in this position to 'credit' their prior learning and be exempt from relevant units on the M.Ost.

If you have a sciences degree, please download the handbook below and complete the APCL claim form in preparation for your interview:

Applicants with healthcare qualifications

In addition to this we are also experiencing an increase in applications from qualified and current students from other healthcare professions. There are two relevant options for qualified health professionals:

Study for our new MSc Osteopathy (pre-registration) for physiotherapists and medical practitioners
Apply to APCL the learning from previous qualifications against the M.Ost programme.

If you have a healthcare degree (or have part-completed an osteopathic qualification at another institution) and wish to apply to credit prior learning, please download the handbook below and complete the APCL claim form in preparation for your interview:
