Formerly the British School of Osteopathy, the University College of Osteopathy is the largest osteopathic educational institution in the UK. The college was formed in 1917 by John Martin Littlejohn, and since its inception, the college has grown from a small school offering basic training to a university college attracting students from all over the world.

Situated in Borough in London since 1997,UCO combines the benefits of studying in a big city with an intimate learning environment.

The university college offers both full time courses including a master of osteopathy, a master of science in osteopathy, and a bachelor in nutrition with professional practice.
