In its 70 years of existence, BCOM has developed into one of the 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 is created for the whole academic community but having different buildings means that the College can give different areas of the Campus different functions - for teaching, learning, research and clinic.
