Sure! Students who successfully complete our Master's degree curriculum will obtain the Master of Science in Osteopathy, awarded by Buckinghamshire New University ("BUCKS"), London. This Master is accredited and in accordance with the Bologna agreements, making it a legal diploma in 45 European countries and regions.

Osteopathy is part of primary health care, as clearly prescribed by the World Health Organization. We are therefore obliged to pursue a high academic level, on the one hand to give patients the assurance that osteopathy treatments are safe and efficient, complementary to classical medicine and on the other hand to demonstrate to other health care professionals that osteopathy and its practice are scientifically based. If doctors, dentists, physiotherapists and other health care professions are trained at master's level, osteopathy training must be at the same level. IAO students and graduates recognize the importance of academizing osteopathy. In Belgium, the report of the Knowledge Center KCE (Ministry of Health) refers to two academic courses: ULB and IAO. It is only the IAO training that also follows the WHO Benchmarks for Training in Osteopathy and thereby respects the osteopathic principles.

Whoever graduates at the IAO can become a member of the leading professional associations in all European countries. Membership often means that the osteopathy treatments are reimbursed by the health insurers.
