Speech and Language Therapy, BSc (Hons)

Speech and language therapy offers essential support and treatment for individuals facing communication challenges, including speech, language, and communication disorders across all ages, as well as eating and drinking difficulties. Qualified speech and language therapists (SLTs) assess, diagnose, and treat clients while collaborating with paediatric and adult patients, parents, carers, professionals, and support workers in diverse settings. The course covers key areas such as psychology, linguistics, phonetics, anatomy, physiology, and therapy practice frameworks, while addressing clients' biopsychosocial and cultural needs. It prepares students to meet the standards for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and membership with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, including financial support of at least £5,000 annually for eligible students.The program incorporates state-of-the-art simulation facilities, integrated research skills, and real-world engagement through scenario-based learning and collaborations with clinicians. Students benefit from creative assessments in the final year's Emergent Practitioner Skills module, such as e-portfolios and mock interviews, alongside three clinical placements to develop practical expertise with experienced therapists. This approach fosters confident, knowledgeable practitioners ready for professional demands.
