This course aims to produce highly competent, passionate, compassionate speech and language therapists who practise safely and effectively. You will gain knowledge and understanding of communication and eating, drinking and swallowing problems and how these problems impact on your client's ability to live a full live, as well as how they affect their family. You will learn to assess such problems and how to work with the person to improve, maintain, or manage their communication and eating, drinking and swallowing, so that they can fully engage in living their life.
You will be supported to develop skills of team working, clinical analysis and high-level communication skills during the in-house university modules as well as when out on placement. You will also develop your research skills in order to ensure that your management of people with a communication and/or eating, drinking, swallowing problem is based on current best evidence.
You will experience a fully integrated three-year course where all aspects of theory and practical experience are carefully woven together. Your assessments will also develop your ability to integrate theory with practice as a speech and language therapist. This will happen in well-supported, logical steps across the three years.
You will be facilitated in your learning by a welcoming, collegiate community of speech and language academics and your peers in class. In addition, you will learn in an academic department (School of Health Sciences) with other health professional students which helps prepare you fully for working in a respectful, person-centred, inter-professional manner.
