iMsc Chiropractic (Integrated Masters)

London South Bank UniversitySouthwark Campus, United Kingdom

Course overview

Learn to provide specialist musculoskeletal care. Expert and effective chiropractic care can make all the difference to those living in pain and discomfort. If you are a strong communicator who can empathise with others with an interest in the human body, our Integrated Masters in Chiropractic programme will help you take the first steps towards becoming a specialist in musculoskeletal spinal care.

Chiropractic students will study at the Southwark LSBU campus during their first year and at both Southwark and Croydon campuses in years 2, 3 and 4. “ LSBU is a university located in the heart of central London, allowing me to explore the city, meet new people, and find new opportunities alongside my studies. Whilst expanding my knowledge in chiropractic care, I am supported by university resources on campus, like Croydon Chiropractic Clinic. These combine classroom and practical learning using a range of pathology cases we might face in the future and introduce us to clinical practice.” Nathan Fung, Chiropractic student.

What sets us apart is our focus on real-world application. Not only can you undertake a work placement, but you will have the opportunity to work in the public-facing LSBU Chiropractic Clinic in your final year. You’ll work with real members of the public here, taking in their medical history, offering a diagnosis and recognising any health issues that might need to be referred for other types of care, while also offering lifestyle advice including nutrition and exercise as part of ongoing treatment.

This integrated approach to healthcare is integral to the degree and features heavily throughout the curriculum. You will learn to work in partnership with other health care professionals, gaining an expert understanding of patient centred healthcare and how chiropractic care can factor into the treatment and managing of musculoskeletal conditions. “ What I love most about my course is how it makes me feel like I am becoming a chiropractor. It is exciting to be hands-on, learning to read X-rays, practising manipulations, and developing skills that I will use in the clinic.

There is something incredibly satisfying about it, especially when a technique clicks or when I can see my progress. It is those moments that remind me why I chose this path in the first place. ” Isa Gaibee, Chiropractic student. To help you build your confidence and skill set you’ll hone your expertise in our purpose-built Chiropractic facilities, based on our Croydon Campus.

Here you will be taught and guided by Chiropractic academics, all of whom are equally passionate about training the next generation of Chiropractors. Between them, the people you meet in clinical practice and your colleagues across the College of Health and Life Sciences, you’ll find a community of people ready to help you succeed. This is the first step towards providing life-changing care.
