The Master’s degree in Osteopathy offers you an expanded field of activity that goes beyond purely practical treatment. The degree course prepares you to apply osteopathic methods comprehensively and in an interdisciplinary manner in patient treatment. At the same time, you will deepen your scientific, clinical and therapeutic skills. You will be able to integrate osteopathic treatment methods into existing therapeutic work, applying and further developing scientifically sound, evidence-based approaches.
The Master’s degree in Osteopathy also enables you to pursue a career in teaching and professional training, for example:
Please note: Without a license to practice alternative medicine or medicine, you are not permitted to offer independent osteopathic treatment in Germany, as osteopathy is considered a form of alternative medicine. As a non-medical practitioner, you must therefore successfully complete the alternative practitioner examination.
