Entry criteria for human Osteopathy
To be accepted onto the European School of Osteopathy’s four-year undergraduate degree programme (the M.Ost) you’ll need to demonstrate a keen interest in Health Sciences.
Our typical entry criteria can be found below. Those with alternative qualifications are encouraged to contact the Admissions team for an informal assessment; many mature students join from a massage or other health related background and there may be entry routes suitable for those without higher level sciences. Each application is considered on a case-by-case basis, which includes the personal statement and reference as well as past and predicted academic performance.
All candidates are invited to attend an interview as part of the application process. If offered a place on the degree programme this will be subject to completion of a satisfactory criminal record (or DBS) check.
