Course programme

Advanced Diploma in Osteopathy

This part time Advanced Diploma in Osteopathy (ADO) is a modular-based programme which will appeal to a wide range of practitioners wishing to further their professional development. It is designed to develop, facilitate and advance osteopathic practice. The curriculum structure provides a framework for continuing professional development that is both stimulating and accessible. It also provides an opportunity to reflect upon and improve practice life.

The part-time nature of the course and the fact that the taught component is delivered at weekends allows students to continue in their place of employment. This is seen as a beneficial feature in order for them to contextualize their learning. This programme is delivered via both taught sessions and a work-based approach that centres the programme within the student's clinical practice and specific areas of interest.

Content

The Programme requires the student to gain 60 credits at Level 3 and consists of:

  • One Compulsory Module, the Structured Personal Portfolio (SPP)
  • Two Elective Modules chosen from five options; Cranial
    Osteopathy, Paediatric Osteopathy, Visceral Osteopathy,
    Osteopathy and Sports Injuries, Naturopathy.

The structured personal porftfolio (SPP) is a supportive and interactive tool

that is developed over the course of the programme.
