The Bachelor of Clinical Sciences (Osteopathic Studies) is a pathway towards a career in osteopathy. Providing a comprehensive grounding in anatomy and physiology, you’ll develop deep knowledge of the connections between the structure and function of your bones, joints, muscles and nerves. With experience drawn from a clinical setting, and complemented by teaching around biomedical science and health, you’ll gather essential knowledge into how our bodies function and why, and what to do when those functions falter. The course includes the study of advanced levels of anatomy and physiology, particularly the structure and function of the muscular and nervous systems. To become a registered osteopath, successful completion of the Bachelor of Clinical Sciences (Osteopathic Studies) and the Southern Cross University Master of Osteopathic Medicine is required. Total time for both courses is 4.5 years. This course has travel expectations - please read the information below on placements carefully. Pathway option: Diploma of Health (Osteopathic Studies Specialisation).
