The European School of Osteopathy
ESO is a British osteopathy school with a 70-year history.
ESO has an international reputation for osteopathic education. Many of its graduates practise in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, and its faculty includes established osteopaths whose seminars draw students from around the world. ESO is a member of the Osteopathic European Academic Network (OsEAN). Graduates planning to practise abroad should check the professional requirements in the country where they intend to work.
The bachelor’s programme is a collaboration between the European School of Osteopathy, the University of Plymouth and Still Point. ESO faculty teach the programme, and Still Point provides the local base in Yerevan.
An additional one-year master’s programme, approved by the university, can be offered if enough students wish to continue. Ask Still Point about this route.

How the programme is taught
The programme draws on modern osteopathic models, current research and WHO training standards, with an emphasis on clinical reasoning and practice from the first year. It covers structural, visceral, cranial and fascial approaches, with dedicated seminars on paediatrics, sports osteopathy and women’s health.
Online study and practice between blocks
Students cover part of the theory online, complete written assignments and practise between in-person teaching blocks.
Supervised clinical practice
The programme includes clinical practice supervised by an ESO tutor. Students who live in or can travel regularly to Yerevan can also work with patients at Still Point under the supervision of local osteopaths who graduated from ESO.
The last in-person block of each year includes the year-end exam. In the fourth year, students write and defend a final project before a panel.
Each year also includes an 8–9-day teaching block in the UK, alongside the five six-day intensives in Yerevan.
ESO provides invitations for students’ UK visa applications. If a visa is refused, send the refusal documents to ESO to explain your absence from the summer teaching block.
Who can apply?
The programme is open to applicants over 18 from any educational or professional background. Medical education or prior training is unnecessary. Knowledge of anatomy and physiology can help with the theory. Students need time to practise between teaching blocks.
- Have a 15–30-minute Zoom interview with the head of ESO’s international programmes.

The group has 24 places. After the interview, your place is held for three weeks; if the deposit is not paid within that time, it may be offered to another applicant.

Working abroad
Academic recognition of a degree and permission to practise are separate matters. Professional requirements vary by country, and the regulator considers each applicant’s documents and other qualifications individually. Contact the regulator in the country where you plan to work and ask about its current requirements.
ESO can help provide the documents requested and draw on its professional network. If additional clinical hours are required, these can be obtained through two months of study in the UK.
