Multidisciplinary content: In addition to a broad scientific methodological competence with modules such as scientific theory and ethics as well as information management, in the Master's degree programme in Osteopathy (M.Sc.) you will acquire special expertise in the fields of paediatrics, gynaecology, pregnancy-birth, urology and sports.

Why enrolling in this programme?
The Master's programme in Osteopathy (M.Sc.) is application-oriented from the very beginning. Your lecturers come from the practice themselves and familiarise you with the latest scientific findings in their teaching. You will examine current research results, reflect on therapeutic methods scientifically and gain new insights into practice through a job shadowing placement in addition to your own professional practice.The part-time Master's programme offers you the opportunity to study alongside your job. You can study a large part of the content flexibly in terms of time and place. Classroom attendance is limited to 16 to 20 days per semester, which we bundle into a five-day block week and five extended weekends (Thursday to Saturday).
Osteopaths work in many areas of the healthcare industry such as private practices, clinics and hospitals, rehabilitation centres, sports clubs as well as in competitive sports. You have deepened and broadened your specialist knowledge and acquired further practical skills. You also know the current state of research and have learned to incorporate research results into your work. In this way, you create real added value for osteopathy, which you can use in research and teaching, among other things.
