Comprehensive and practice-oriented curriculum
You will be trained across all domains of osteopathy, including:
- Structural Osteopathy – focusing on the musculoskeletal system: bones, joints, muscles, and fascia.
- Visceral Osteopathy – treatment of the organs and their surrounding structures, with a brief introduction to nutrition and functional relationships.
- Neurology – emphasizing the peripheral and central nervous systems, including the cranial nerves, and their influence on body functions.
- Craniosacral Osteopathy – including an introduction to pediatrics (early childhood) and special attention to the cranial, spinal, and sacral systems.
Each module focuses on a specific region or functional system and combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on training.
This approach enables you to gradually apply the techniques in your own practice and expand your clinical skillset step by step.
Flexible study options
The program consists of **30 modules**, a **final clinical examination**, and a **master's thesis**. The standard study track takes four years, with the master research module completed in the final year. For those seeking greater flexibility, the program can also be spread over five years.
Each module is organized over three consecutive days (Friday 4:30 PM–8:15 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM–6:45 PM, and Sunday 8:00 AM–4:15 PM). The schedule for the next academic year will be available online from early April.
Then be sure to explore our Lateral Entry Program, which allows you to complete the Master of Science in Osteopathy in a minimum of two academic years.
