Applying to the LSO
If you have decided to study osteopathy, and a part time course suits your needs, then you should apply using the application form. The form can be filled in electronically, but needs to be printed off so that you can sign it before sending it in.
Once your completed application form is received, provided you meet the criteria, you will be invited to attend an Induction & Evaluation event. This provides an opportunity for you to meet us, and explore the course and profession in more depth. It is important for you to be sure about your choice before you embark on this life-changing pathway.
Future I&E date: Tuesday 17th of August 2010
Applicants may apply for exemption to modules by a process known as Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL). This is particularly relevant for students who have studied in health care previously, or are transferring from another course.
If you have any queries about how to apply, or to discuss your particular needs, please contact the Registrar in the first instance at info@lso.ac.uk or on 020 7265 9333.

or
- successful completion of the European or International Baccalaureate
