Master of Science in Osteopathy

4 years | Copenhagen

The Master’s Programme in Osteopathy in Copenhagen is designed specifically for physiotherapists and medical doctors. Graduates obtain both the Diploma in Osteopathy (DO) and the internationally recognised Master of Science in Osteopathy, awarded by Buckinghamshire New University (BNU), London – England.

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.

Already hold a DO diploma? 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.
