What's it like to live in South West?
Check out our region guide

The South West of England is made up of seven counties, with rural areas surrounding key student cities – from Plymouth and Bournemouth up to Bath, Bristol and Cheltenham & Gloucester.

You'll find many a festival – including the world-famous Glastonbury. And if you're a cider or cheese buff, you'll have plenty to try in the South West. You can always walk it off in Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks, or beautiful countryside from the Cotswolds to Land's End.

Cornwall, Dorset, and Devon are big coastal favourites, with idyllic beaches and waves to test the bravest surfers.

Campus and facilities

Our Bournemouth campus is located on Parkwood Road, Boscombe, just a few minutes walk from beautiful Bournemouth beach. Our campus is home to our learning facilities, onsite clinics, integrated rehabilitation centre and specialist health science environment.

Our small but well-equipped site reflects our specialist institutional needs and tight-knit community feel. While on campus you really feel like you are part of a specialist community of likeminded individuals.

Our university campus is super-easy to get around. You can walk between locations, or into neighbouring Southbourne and Boscombe and with the beach down the road it’s no wonder that student’s here love to get out and explore the local area when they’re not studying.

You can find out more about our London campus by searching "UCO School of Osteopathy" on UCAS. We will be delivering some of our courses in both Bournemouth and London from September 2024.
