If you’re interested in Chiropractic, this course is an ideal route to achieve a Masters in Chiropractic (MChiro). Chiropractic is a healthcare profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system – and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health.
We offer the only Chiropractic course in Greater London, and our new location in Croydon will be at the heart of our mission to transform lives, communities and society through applied education. As part of your studies, you will learn in brand new, dedicated Chiropractic facilities. Our public facing Chiropractic clinic will give you first-hand experience of working with patients and grow community connections.
Our first clinic will run from Southwark from July 2021, before moving to our new campus. Find out more about LSBU Croydon here.
The British Chiropractic Association (BCA) has pledged to increase the number of chiropractors within the UK from 3,100 to 5,000 by 2025, enabling increased access for UK residents and an increased partnership with other professions allied to medicine such as physiotherapy and sports and exercise rehabilitation.

During the programme, you'll study human biology and physiology in order to understand the human body in health and disease. You'll also explore the important role chiropractors have in contributing to the management, treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal conditions, and have the unique opportunity to study alongside other associated undergraduate students in Allied Health Sciences, including Physiotherapy and Sports Rehabilitation and Exercise.
Diagnostic, clinical and research skills are developed throughout the course through a range of modules. There are clinical placements that will equate to at least 1000 hours. This component is assessed through a range of case-management summaries and direct supervision.
Some compulsory skills sessions may take place in the evening.
Because this is the only London-Based Chiropractor course, qualified students will be able to readily access the significant chiropractor market in and across London. An increasing number of chiropractors are being contracted through Any Qualified Provider schemes to deliver services to NHS patients. And once you've successfully completed the course you're eligible for registration with the General Chiropractic Council as a Chiropractor. At this point you'll be equipped to set up as an independent practitioner. In addition to private practice, chiropractors can work in a hospital setting, multidisciplinary clinics, as well as research or education.

Once we have made you an offer, you can apply for accommodation. You can rent from LSBU and you’ll deal directly with the university, not third party providers. That means we can guarantee you options to suit all budgets, with clear tenancy agreements and all-inclusive rents that include insurance for your personal belongings, internet access in each bedroom and on-site laundry facilities.
Or, if you’d rather rent privately, we can give you a list of landlords – just ask our Accommodation Service.

You don't need to wait for a confirmed place on a course to start applying for student finance. Read how to pay your fees as an undergraduate student.
LSBU Croydon is our new campus opening in September 2021 with a mission to transform lives and communities. With brand new state of the art facilities and placements across Croydon, we aim to help tackle the NHS shortage of nurses across the area. To study at LSBU Croydon please put a C on your UCAS application.
All pre-registration students need to be DBS cleared before going on placement. You’ll need to have an enhanced DBS check even if you have had one before and will not be able to go on placement until this is complete.
The DBS process is not difficult but can take some time so it's best to get started as soon as you receive your email. You will receive the email during Summer 2021.
If you're part of the DBS update service, your subscription is up to date and you already have a DBS certificate, please bring in your original green DBS certificate for the document check. To take advantage of the update service, your certificate needs to be classified as 'Enhanced' and workforce must be listed as 'Adult and Child'. If you have any queries, please email us at hscdbsoh@lsbu.ac.uk.
Our DBS supplier, Verifile, will send you an email with all the details you need to complete your DBS.
Verifile will give you instructions to log into their system and complete your personal details and information. To complete the process, you'll need your passport or driving licence and 5-year address history including dates when you moved in/out.
You can use your application number to track the progress of your DBS.
When you've finished, your Disclosure Statement will be mailed to the most recent address in your submission, so please make sure it's correct. We don't automatically receive a copy of this Statement, which is why we need you to bring it in as part of the next step.
Once you have completed the online part of the DBS process, you will need to produce three accepted documents from this list (PDF File 248 KB) to be verified.
An exciting part of many of our Health and Social Care courses is the opportunity to learn off-campus and work with patients, clients and/or service users. Before you start, we need to make sure that you have the correct levels of immunisations.
The second part of your occupational health check is to get any inoculations that you may need from your GP. When attending your GP appointment, please take printed copies of these two documents with you.

After these steps are complete you will receive an email from OHWorks Ltd inviting you to attend an appointment on-campus with an Occupational Health Nurse. These appointments take place during the week and sometimes when your classes have already started.
The OH team have prepared this guide (PDF File 439 KB) which outlines what to expect at each stage. If you have queries or concerns about your Occupational Health clearance or inoculations please contact the Occupational Health team.
Before starting your course, you may want to check or practice your numeracy skills. The National Numeracy Challenge is a free online tool that helps you learn, revise and quiz your essential numeracy skills. You’ll also be able to get a certificate to show your efforts.
Before you start your course we’ll send you information on what you’ll need to do before you arrive and during your first few days on campus. You can read about the process on our new students pages.
We plan this course to make sure you complete the required number of hours in both theory and practice (not less than 1000 hours in assessed clinical practice). Practice learning opportunities will be in placements in local clinics, community, private and voluntary sector agencies as appropriate for the delivery of chiropractic focused clinical provision. A variety of theory and practical assessments assess and grade learning throughout the programme. You must achieve the requisite academic credit (and specified practice hours and competencies) in order to graduate and professionally register as a Chiropractor.
Your holiday periods will not follow the normal University timetable because of placements. You’ll receive more details once you start your course.
