Course summary
The (M.Ost) programme is likely to appeal to students with a strong academic interest with perhaps desire to combine lecturing and/or research with work as an osteopath. It may also appeal to students who wish to work in Europe where an Integrated Masters is likely to be the expected qualification for an osteopath. It is recognised by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and on successful completion students are eligible to register as an osteopath with the GOsC

Assessment method
Assessment is by viva, practical examination, coursework and dissertation. The course includes both formative or practice assessment and formal summative assessments. The purpose of a formative assessment is to develop and test your understanding in the subject area. Formative assessments do not count towards your final module mark but your course team will give you feedback to help you improve. Formal or summative assessments normally count towards your module/unit mark and therefore towards your final award (i.e. class of degree, distinction/merit/pass). Assessment methods may include written examinations, and a range of coursework assessments such as essays, reports, portfolios, performance, presentations and often a major project or dissertation in the final year.
