About Health Sciences University

The Access to Higher Education Diploma (Osteopathic Sciences and Health Care) course is a one-year further education programme which leads to a nationally recognised award.

It is designed specifically, but not exclusively, for students with little or no scientific background, and is ideal for those who wish to pursue a career in osteopathy or a related healthcare discipline, but aren’t yet ready to undertake a degree programme.

The course will help develop the knowledge and skills needed to continue on to study osteopathy (or related subjects) at undergraduate degree level. There is a strong emphasis on the biological and physical sciences, as well as an introduction to patient interaction and psychology. Other units include osteopathic professionalism, English, mathematics and study skills.
