How the course is taught

The MChiro is a mix of intensive academic studies and practical training, with a high staff-student ratio. Practising chiropractors teach all the practical elements, and all scientific and medical knowledge is taught by the relevant highly-qualified specialists.

Clinical training is provided at clinics based at Abingdon, close to Oxford and Manchester. The training starts in year one and is fully developed in the final year, where you'll manage your own patient list under supervision.

Assessment

• Assignments
• Exams
• Group presentations
• Practical assessments
• Structured clinical exams

You will be assessed in a variety of ways, including written exams, projects, oral presentations and practical assessments, depending on the module and stage of development. You will also be encouraged to reflect and feedback on your own experiences, learning and development.

If required, we can assign a mentor to help guide you through the course, and most module assessments can be retaken in extenuating circumstances.

Employability and progression

Once you've completed the course, you'll be awarded the MChiro by BPP University, approved by the General Chiropractic Council.

Our MChiro has been formally recognised by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC), which means you can then go on to apply for registration as a chiropractor. Please note, as well as the necessary qualifications, you will also be expected to show you are in good health – both mental and physical – and demonstrate good character to the Registrar. We recommend that you let us know of any health issues or criminal convictions at your interview, so that we can pass on any appropriate advice.

As a registered chiropractor, you will be required to undergo Continuing Professional Development (CPD) every year.
