British College of Osteopathic Medicine

British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) was the first institution in the United Kingdom to offer a university validated osteopathic honours degree. BCOM is renowned for its quality in education being awarded ‘approval without conditions’  from the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) led ‘Recognised Qualification’  from the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) for two consecutive reviews. BCOM's degree course is validated by Plymouth University.

BCOM offers specialist human performance laboratory and hydrotherapy facilities and was the founder of the International Conference on Advances in Osteopathic Research (ICAOR).

The College fosters a strong research ethos into its students and graduates. BCOM is particularly regarded for its unique naturopathic approach to osteopathic care in its teaching and within its busy teaching clinic.

British College of Osteopathic Medicine provides a directory of local accommodation to students and advice on renting.

Since being founded in 1936, British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) has developed into one of the UKs largest osteopathic colleges with a sector-leading multi-part campus well located in London's Hampstead. Directly opposite the Finchley Road underground station and very close to bus and rail links, the College Campus is accessible both to the wider city and to areas outside London. Our various buildings are adjacent and located in green space, but close to the shopping facilities of the landmark O2 Centre.  The closeness of our buildings provides a warm, intimate atmosphere for the whole academic community. Having different buildings also means that the College can give different areas of the Campus different functions - for teaching, learning, research and clinic.

Hampstead, commonly known as Hampstead Village, is an area of London, England, 4 miles (6.4 km) north-west of Charing Cross. Part of the London Borough of Camden, it is known for its intellectual, liberal, artistic, musical and literary associations and for Hampstead Heath, a large, hilly expanse of parkland. It has some of the most expensive housing in the London area.
