Master of Science - Speech and Language Therapy

This two year course will enable students to become a registered speech and language therapist. Students will acquire the knowledge and skills needed to become a competent and confident professional. During their first year, students will learn foundational knowledge and gain the professional and clinical skills needed to be a speech and language therapist. This will readily prepare them for year 2 as they undertake multiple clinical placements, as well as developing their research skills. Whatever students' interests in this field, they will be supported to follow their passions as they have the option of selecting certain topics of study during their final year. What’s more, students will have the opportunity to work with a wide range of patients as they deliver care to allow people to communicate and find their voice. The academics champion diverse representation and encourage inclusive leadership, ensuring that students are fully prepared to work with the entire community upon graduation. As well as engaging with both theory and practice, students will be encouraged to adapt their own clinical work as a speech and language therapist, ensuring that they foster an inclusive and person-centred approach to their work. Assessment on this course is different for each module, providing learners with a variety of ways to show skills and knowledge and represent their learning. Some of the modules have an exam element to the assessments but they will also demonstrate their learning by producing written work, such as essays and portfolios and presentations. Students will also be required to pass their placements to qualify as an SLT. On successful completion of all elements of the course students will be eligible to apply to the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) for registration as a Speech and Language Therapist.
