The University of Bedfordshire and the prestigious British School of Osteopathy (BSO) have further cemented their strong relationship.
Professor Les Ebdon CBE, the University’s Vice Chancellor, and Charles Hunt, Principal of the BSO, met this week to sign a partnership renewal contract.
The University validates the BSO’s Master of Osteopathy (M.Ost.) degree which is recognised by the General Osteopathic Council (GOC). The first six-year agreement was signed in September 2004 and this renewal is for an identical period.
Professor Ebdon said: “We’re delighted to renew the agreement and genuinely believe a number of students who otherwise would have been unable to study osteopathy have been able to do so as a result of this partnership.
“The relationship has worked tremendously and it has undoubtedly brought more diversity to the BSO.
“I feel it’s important to keep these long-term strategic developments in place, even in these times of cuts in the current economic climate.”
Mr Hunt was equally fulsome in his praise and said: “It’s been an excellent relationship and both institutions have benefited in my opinion.
“We’re delighted with the support that the University of Bedfordshire has offered us. The BSO is pleased to have the surety of funding for our students to continue their osteopathic education.”
Based in South London and founded in 1917, the BSO is the largest and oldest osteopathic school in the UK. The University and the BSO are continuing to work on a number of joint initiatives including research and a professional doctorate in osteopathy. For further information, visit www.bso.ac.uk
